Senate Blocks Measure To Limit Trump War Powers
Debates have intensified in Washington regarding how military operations against Iran can continue after May 1. Colombian senators and deputies are scheduled to vote this Thursday on whether to annul a presidential veto. Senator Tim Kaine, a Democrat from Virginia, disputed claims that President Trump is not bound by the War Powers Resolution. Kaine stated he does not believe the statute supports the administration's position regarding the Iran ceasefire. US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth argued during a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing that President Trump is not required to comply with the War Powers Resolution. Hegseth suggested that the ceasefire beginning earlier this month may allow the administration to bypass the requirement to seek congressional approval for military action extending beyond 60 days.
