The Senate voted in favor of a war powers resolution to limit President Donald Trump’s military authority over Iran which directs him to pull United States military troops out of the conflict with Iran. In a 50-48 vote on Tuesday, the Senate adopted the war powers resolution, which instructs Trump to “remove United States Armed Forces from hostilities against the Islamic Republic of Iran,” CBS News reported.
The resolution was described as being “concurrent,” which means Trump’s signature is not needed, according to the outlet. Republican Sens. Susan Collins (R-ME), Bill Cassidy (R-LA), Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), and Rand Paul (R-KY) joined with Senate Democrats in supporting the war powers resolution, while Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) opposed it. The Senate’s adoption of the war powers resolution comes after the House voted on June 3 in favor of the resolution “after three previous failed attempts,” according to the outlet.
