Senate Moves to Check Trump’s Iran Actions with War Powers Resolution

The Senate voted 50-48 to invoke the War Powers Act, directing President Trump to remove U.S. forces from hostilities with Iran unless Congress explicitly authorizes future action, while allowing a limited presence to deter imminent attacks; the move, largely symbolic but signaling GOP discomfort with the Iran campaign, could influence talks in Switzerland and reflects longstanding tensions over presidential war authority amid ongoing reliance on older AUMFs.
