NightSide With Dan Rea

The U.S. House approved a war powers resolution on Wednesday aimed at halting the military action in Iran, a move that defied President Donald Trump. So, what happens now? A vote will be taken up by the U.S. Senate and if passed, sent to Pres. Trump's desk who can veto it...so does it make much difference? Trump says Iran already agreed they would not have a nuclear weapon so what's the hold up with accomplishing a peace deal? Is Israel getting in the way of peace between the U.S. and Iran due to their continuous conflict with Hezbollah in Lebanon?

The bill is in direct response to the ongoing legal battle brought forth by State Auditor Diana DiZoglio, to audit the State Legislature.
