Senate Votes Down Attempt To Halt Iran War

The Senate narrowly rejected a war powers resolution that would have required President Donald Trump to end the Iran war or seek congressional authorization. The vote was 49-50, marking another failed effort to curb presidential war powers as the conflict continued. The measure had already passed the House and was non-binding, so it would not have become law. The episode underscores persistent congressional division over the war and limits on executive military action.
