Trump's war powers rebuked by GOP-led House & Senate


Listen Later

The headline refers to a series of congressional votes over President Donald Trump's authority to continue U.S. military operations involving Iran. Initially, both chambers of Congress delivered a notable bipartisan rebuke:
  • The GOP-controlled House passed a war powers resolution with support from four Republicans, joining Democrats in an effort to limit Trump's ability to continue military operations against Iran without congressional authorization.
  • A few weeks later, the Senate also narrowly approved a similar resolution (50–48), with four Republican senators joining most Democrats. It was the first time the Senate had approved such a war powers resolution, making it a significant political rebuke, even though the measure's legal effect was limited and Trump was expected to oppose it.
