Trump saw his power to continue waging war in Iran checked by a Senate vote on Tuesday, per reporting by the New York Times.
The Senate resolution tells Trump to end the war in Iran or seek congressional authorization to resume it, according to the Times, which described the 50-48 Senate vote as “the most significant bipartisan rebuke yet of the conflict.”
GOP senators Rand Paul from Kentucky, Lisa Murkowski from Alaska, Susan Collins from Maine and Bill Cassidy from Louisiana crossed over and joined with Democrats to check Trump’s Iran war powers. However, the Times noted that the resolution does not have the force of law and is unlikely to lead to an immediate change in policy.
The Senate resolution marks the second time that Republicans have rebuked Trump over the war in Iran. The House of Representatives recently passed a similar resolution. Trump can veto the resolution.
