Senate for first time approves a war powers resolution in a rebuke to Trump over Iran conflict

The Senate voted 50-48 to approve a war powers resolution limiting President Donald Trump's military authority over the Iran conflict. This marks the first time the Senate passed such a measure after ten attempts, including support from four Republican votes. Although largely symbolic, the resolution requires the president to cease the Iran war, which recently concluded with a memorandum of understanding, signaling legislative disquiet regarding the handling of the conflict by the US president.
