The U.S. Senate advanced a bill known as the Iran War Powers Resolution that would limit President Donald Trump's ability to wage war against Iran
WASHINGTON - The U.S. Senate advanced legislation on Wednesday intended to limit President Donald Trump’s ability to wage war against Iran, paving the way for a final vote as eight Republicans joined Democrats in supporting the war powers resolution.
“It is very important for our Country’s SECURITY that the United States Senate not vote for the Iran War Powers Resolution. We are doing very well with Iran and this is not the time to show weakness,” Trump said on Twitter. “That’s a message of strength and it especially speaks to people around the world who are in the streets protesting... because they want the rule of law,” Kaine said.
The Democratic-led House of Representatives passed a similar resolution last month, as Democrats and some Republicans fumed over Trump’s failure to fully inform them about his Iran strategy.
