Hawley to oppose Iran war-powers check as Congress weighs authority

Sen. Josh Hawley says he’ll oppose a bipartisan Iran war-powers resolution that would require congressional sign-off for further actions, arguing current administration notification suffices and that any ground troops would need explicit congressional authorization—though he acknowledges a different scenario if troops are deployed later. The Senate vote is anticipated with several Republicans undecided, as Democrats seek bipartisan backing; other Capitol Hill activity today includes housing legislation and ongoing Iran-related updates.
