The US Senate rejected a fourth attempt to limit President Trump's war powers in Iran, with Democrats vowing to continue trying to rein in the president. The resolution aimed to direct Trump to remove US Armed Forces from hostilities in Iran unless authorized by a declaration of war.
The US Senate defeated a war powers resolution aimed at curbing President Trump's ability to use military force against Iran. The measure failed in a 47-52 vote, with Sen. Rand Paul and Sen. John Fetterman crossing party lines. Led by Sen. Tammy Duckworth, the resolution would have required Trump to remove US forces from hostilities in Iran unless authorized by a declaration of war. Democrats vowed to continue forcing votes on the issue. The vote came as the conflict in Iran approached the 60-day mark, the cap on unauthorized engagements under the 1973 War Powers Resolution. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer urged Republicans to reconsider their support for the war if it doesn't end before the 60-day mark.
