Republicans break with Trump to rebuke Iran war - but it won't change policy
Senate Democrats scored another win in pushing back against President Donald Trump's war in Iran on Tuesday, but the symbolic victory won't actually curb his war powers in the region. Democrats and a handful of Republicans passed a war powers resolution rebuking the conflict in Iran on a 50 to 48 vote.
But unlike several previous attempts in the Senate to curb Trump's authority, the House-passed measure does not carry any legally binding weight and won't go to the president's desk for his signature, where it would likely be vetoed.
