Senate rejects resolution to force Trump to end Iran strikes
The Washington Post • • nation
Key Points:
- The Senate voted on a war powers resolution to block President Donald Trump from ordering further strikes on Iran but the resolution was rejected.
- This marks the eighth war powers resolution vote since June, all of which have failed.
- Democrats, joined by Sen. Rand Paul, pushed for the vote despite opposition from most Senate Republicans who hold the majority.
- Democrats urged some Republicans to support the resolution to end the conflict and restore Congress’s authority over war declarations.
- The rejection means the war initiated by Trump continues without Congressional consent.
