NewzOn Thursday, the US Senate narrowly rejected a Democratic-led resolution intended to curb presidential war powers regarding Iran. In a vote of 50 to 49 along largely party lines, the Senate defeated the measure, which sought to halt hostilities against Iran until explicitly authorized by Congress.
The rejected resolution had previously passed the House of Representatives in July. The legislative push reflects ongoing tensions and constitutional debates between the legislative and executive branches over war-making authorities in the Middle East.
