Senate passes war powers resolution
The Senate has adopted a House-approved Iran War Powers resolution 50-48 in a symbolic, yet rare, rebuke of President Donald Trump.
Republican Sens. Bill Cassidy, Susan Collins, Maine, Lisa Murkowski, Alaska, and Rand Paul, Kentucky, voted in favor of the resolution while Democrat Sen. John Fetterman, Pennsylvania, voted against it. The four Republican Senators that voted for the resolution have previously joined Democrats on other Iran War Power votes.
Because this is a concurrent resolution, it does not require the president’s signature nor does it carry the force of law; however, it is emblematic of the growing concern both chambers have now voiced with Trump’s handling of the war.
Tuesday's rebuke comes as Trump is expected to huddle with Republican senators on Wednesday to speak on a wide range of topics. Multiple Senators said they are hoping to garner more information out of Trump on the ongoing negotiations with Iran.
