Congress passes Yemen War Powers Resolution for first time in history invoking 1973 law

Congress passes S.J.Res.7, a war powers resolution directing President Trump to end U.S. military support for the Saudi-led coalition's war in Yemen, by 54-46 in the Senate and 247-175 in the House. The historic vote marks the first time Congress has successfully invoked the War Powers Resolution to end an unauthorized military operation. Trump vetoes the measure on April 16, 2019, and Congress fails to override the veto.
