US Senators Block War Powers Resolution
Democratic lawmakers in the US Congress have proposed a resolution to limit President Donald Trump's authority to conduct military operations in Iran without congressional authorization. One senator noted that previous attempts to force five votes on the matter also failed. The opposition was described as nearly unanimous, with the exception of some Republican members who opposed increased accountability for oversight required by the constitution. One senator noted that most votes failed with near-unanimous Republican opposition, except for Rand Paul. Democratic Senator Rubén Gallego stated that Americans want focus on reducing prices rather than entering another potential war. Gallego noted that citizens in Arizona prioritize healthcare, housing, food, and fuel costs over military conflict.
