Senator Tammy Duckworth sponsored the failed War Powers resolution and criticized President Trump for continuing military operations in Iran.
The US Senate failed to pass a war powers resolution that would have required the Trump administration to seek congressional authorization for military actions against Iran, with voting largely following party lines.
Democratic dissenter
Non-voting senator
GOP dissenter
Outlets generally report that the Senate rejected a war powers resolution sponsored by Duckworth to limit or halt U.S. military action against Iran. 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.
