Rand Paul Criticizes Congress After War Powers Resolution Fails

The Senate rejected a resolution limiting continued U.S. military action in Iran, and Rand Paul was the only Republican reported to support it. Center outlets emphasize Paul’s status as the lone Republican supporter; one article also presents his case for collective congressional decisions about war and includes the administration’s rationale and Iran’s objections. Right-leaning outlets likewise note his lone-Republican vote, but split between stressing the vote and congressional oversight and foregrounding his criticism of Congress.
