Senator Duckworth, a combat veteran, criticized the Senate for failing to exercise its constitutional oversight of the ongoing conflict.
The Republican-controlled Senate rejected a Democratic resolution to halt military action in Iran by a 47-52 vote. While the measure failed, several GOP senators are signaling they will demand a formal war authorization if the conflict continues past the 60-day War Powers Act deadline.

The Associated Press notes that some senators are looking to future war powers votes, while The Gateway Pundit emphasizes that one Republican voted with Democrats.
