Congress votes down war powers resolutions to halt U.S. military operations against Iran

The Senate voted 47-52 on Wednesday to reject a war powers resolution that would have required congressional authorization for the U.S. war with Iran, followed by a 213-214 House vote Thursday rejecting a similar measure. Republicans largely voted to continue supporting Trump's military operations, while Democrats overwhelmingly backed the resolutions. The U.S. and Iran are currently in a temporary ceasefire, with the 60-day War Powers Act deadline approaching at the end of April.
