Senate Rejects Iran War Powers Bill
The US Senate voted today on a bill to limit Trump's military action against Iran. The Senate rejected the bill.
The vote was 47 to 53. Democrats supported the bill.
Republicans opposed it. Democrats said the war with Iran is illegal.
They warned it risks a long conflict. A separate House vote on war powers is expected.
Klear Note — War powers resolutions let Congress limit military action without declaring war. The Senate needs 60 votes to pass such bills. This vote shows deep disagreement between parties on Iran.
