Senate Pushes War-Powers Check on Trump Over Iran Conflict
TL;DR
The Senate advanced a war-powers resolution 50-47 to force President Trump to end the Iran war unless Congress authorizes it, with four Republicans (Cassidy, Murkowski, Collins, Rand Paul) joining Democrats amid GOP absences; the measure moves to debate and a floor vote in coming weeks, part of a months-long effort by Democrats to curb presidential war powers despite an expected veto, as a fragile cease-fire and talks continue and a 60-day deadline looms.
