The U.S. Senate on Wednesday advanced a War Powers Resolution aimed at compelling President Donald Trump to withdraw from ongoing military operations involving Iran, in a notable challenge to executive war-making authority. The motion to discharge the resolution from committee passed 50–47, with Republican Senators Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Rand Paul, and Bill Cassidy joining most Democrats in support. Senator John Fetterman was the sole Democrat to oppose it. The measure follows eight earlier failed attempts by Democrats to restrict the president’s unilateral war powers amid concerns over the legal basis and objectives of the operation that began on February 28.
