War powers resolution fails as Senate Republicans stand by Trump on Iran

Senate Republicans blocked a war powers resolution that aimed to force President Trump to withdraw U.S. armed forces from hostilities with Iran. In a narrow 50-49 vote, the Senate defeated the measure to discharge the resolution from the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Despite some GOP concerns regarding energy prices and war expansion, Republicans maintained their support for Trump. This action prevents the current effort to constrain the president's ability to wage war without Congressional approval.
