In a contentious move, nearly all Republican Senators voted down a measure to require President Trumps congressional approval for military operations in Iran. Only Senator Rand Paul supported it. The War Powers Act resolution aims to limit the presidents options without congressional input. The House plans a vote later this week, with Democrats backing it and Republicans opposing. Representatives from the Hudson Valley, Pat Ryan and Mike Lawler, hold differing views. Ryan, a former Army officer, advocates for the measure to avoid another generation of Middle East fighting, while Lawler rejects it as a political ploy. The law, originating from the Vietnam era, allows up to sixty days of action before needing congressional approval. Despite slim chances of passing under Republican control, the votes highlight representatives stances on risking lives and money overseas.
