Senate Rejects War Powers Resolution, Leaving Trump with Broad Authority for Iran Strikes
The Senate voted down a War Powers resolution aimed at limiting President Trumps authority for military strikes on Iran. The measure, sponsored by Senator Cory Booker, would have required pulling U.S. forces from hostilities unless backed by a formal declaration of war or specific congressional approval. The vote was fifty-three to forty-seven, with Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania being the sole Democrat to side with Republicans against it, and Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky as the only Republican supporter. The House previously shot down a companion bill by a narrow margin. Senator Booker highlighted the growing toll of the conflict, which has led to attacks on U.S. diplomatic and military sites and surging prices for everyday goods and energy. Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina argued that the resolution was unconstitutional and that Congress cannot micromanage the commander in chief under the War Powers Act.
