Senator Rand Paul remains the sole Republican dissenter in the Senate's attempts to restrict President Trump's war powers in Iran.
Senate Republicans continue to block efforts to limit President Trump's war powers despite economic strain from the ongoing conflict with Iran. The GOP leadership views the legislative attempts to restrict military action as political delay tactics by Democrats.
Most coverage, including Reuters and TIME, reports that the Senate rejected the Iran war powers resolution and that Rand Paul was the only Republican to support it with Democrats. Benzinga emphasizes Paul’s criticism of the conflict’s spending and debt, while Newsmax highlights the Constitution as the reason for his vote.
