Senate Republicans Again Reject Effort To Halt Iran Conflict

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Republican-led Senate on Wednesday rejected the latest Democratic attempt to halt President Donald Trump’s conflict in Iran, turning aside a resolution that would require the U.S. to withdraw forces from the conflict until Congress authorizes further action. The 47-52 vote was the fourth time this year that the Senate has voted to cede its war powers to the president in a conflict that Democrats say is illegal and unjustified. Republicans say they will keep faith in Trump’s wartime leadership, for now, citing Iran’s nuclear capabilities and the high stakes of withdrawal. But GOP lawmakers are also anxious for the conflict to end — and they may not defer to the executive branch indefinitely. Some Republicans have already made clear that they are eyeing future votes that could become an important test for the president if the conflict drags on. Under the War Powers Act of 1973, Congress must declare war or authorize use of force within 60 days of its start — a deadline that will arrive at the end of this month. The law provides for a potential 30-day extension of that deadline, but lawmakers have made clear that they want the administration to soon lay out a plan for the end of the conflict. After the 60-day or 90-day deadline, “it’s time to fish or cut bait,” said Republican Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina. “I think that the administration would be wise to put together what would look like a well-founded authorization of military force and a funding strategy,” Tillis said. Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, has been talking to colleagues about putting together a resolution that would authorize the war beyond that time period. Republican Sens. John Curtis of Utah and Susan Collins of Maine have also said they would like to see congressional action.

Oregon Congresswomen Call For Swalwell To Go

UNDATED – Three members of Oregon’s congressional delegation are calling for California Congressman Eric Swalwell to resign following recent allegations of sexual assault made by multiple women. The lawmakers are responding to reports that have resulted in no legal actions but have sparked renewed scrutiny and political pressure in Washington, D.C. Salinas: Allegations are “serious” and require accountability Andrea Salinas said the allegations against Swalwell are “serious” and should be addressed through immediate accountability measures. In a statement, Salinas emphasized that while due process is important, members of Congress are held to a high ethical standard and must be prepared to face consequences when serious accusations arise. Hoyle calls for expedited review Val Hoyle weighed in on social media, saying she plans to request an expedited review of the allegations. Hoyle did not elaborate on the specifics of what such a review would entail, but her comments add to growing pressure for House leadership and ethics officials to act quickly. Dexter: “Must resign immediately” Maxine Dexter took the strongest position among the Oregon delegation, calling for Swalwell’s immediate resignation from Congress. Dexter also said she would vote to expel him if he does not step down voluntarily, signaling support for the most severe congressional disciplinary action available. Members of Congress can be disciplined in several ways, including censure, removal from committee assignments, or expulsion. Expulsion requires a two-thirds majority vote in the House of Representatives, making it a rare and significant action. Any formal action would typically follow a review by the House Ethics Committee or other investigative bodies, depending on how leadership chooses to proceed. The allegations against Swalwell have not been resolved in court, and no formal findings of wrongdoing have been announced by congressional investigators. Swalwell has not been criminally charged in connection with the claims referenced by lawmakers in their statements.
