Online:
6:45 – The US Senate on Wednesday rejected a resolution aimed at limiting President Donald Trump’s powers and requiring any US involvement in military operations against Iran to be formally approved by Congress.
The resolution voted on would have forced the administration to withdraw American troops from the fight against Iran unless Congress authorized the continuation of that campaign. Since the Republicans currently have a majority in both chambers, the senators finally rejected the resolution by a vote of 53 to 47. (TASR)
