US Senate fails to pass war powers resolution to limit Trump's use of military force in Iran
The Senate rejected a resolution requiring congressional approval for further military strikes on Iran, with a 53-47 vote mostly along party lines amid rising conflict risks.
- On Wednesday, the U.S. Senate prepared to vote on a war powers resolution after President Donald Trump launched strikes against Iran, forcing senators to take sides.
- Facing an authorization gap, lawmakers pushed the war powers resolution after Trump entered a five-day-old war without prior approval, with Sen. Tim Kaine warning 'Nobody gets to hide and give the president an easy pass or an end-run around the Constitution'.

- The resolution faces an uphill climb and an expected veto, with lawmakers' votes serving as markers ahead of midterm elections as U.S. troops 'remain in harm's way'.
