The Senate is scheduled to vote on a Democratic-led resolution that would require congressional authorization for military action against Iran. Tim Kaine is leading the effort, while Josh Hawley says he will oppose it.
The resolution, introduced by Senators Tim Kaine and Adam Schiff, would direct U.S. forces to leave hostilities against Iran that Congress has not authorized. The article says the measure is unlikely to advance and would still need House approval and the president’s signature to become law. It describes the War Powers Resolution’s reporting and time limits for military action without congressional authorization.
Kaine said the vote would put senators on the record about the conflict. Hawley said he would vote against the measure, arguing that the administration is complying with the law. The article also reports that the House is expected to vote on a separate, nonbinding resolution introduced by Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie, and quotes Mike Johnson opposing its passage.
