US Lawmakers Plan Vote on War Powers Resolution

Congress Seeks To Limit Trump's Military Authority In Iran

US lawmakers are planning to vote on a war powers resolution that would limit President Donald Trump’s ability to use military force in Iran without congressional authorization. The move comes as the conflict in Iran continues, with three US servicemembers killed and five others seriously wounded. The resolution, sponsored by Sen. Tim Kaine, faces an uphill battle in the GOP-led Congress, but even an unsuccessful vote could put pressure on the White House to change its behavior. This development was first reported by Breaking Defense.
