Senate Democrats invoke War Powers Resolution to stall Iran military action

Democratic senators led by Tim Kaine and Chuck Schumer introduce a War Powers Resolution to halt military operations against Iran authorized by President Trump but lacking explicit congressional authorization. The resolution claims Operation Epic Fury violates the War Powers Resolution and requires congressional approval for continued military action. The resolution gains bipartisan support but fails to achieve the necessary votes in the Republican-controlled Senate. The vote is 47-53, with Sen. Rand Paul being the only Republican voting in favor and Sen. John Fetterman being the only Democrat voting against. The failed resolution nonetheless highlights congressional divisions over executive war powers and the Iran conflict.
