US-Iran Military Conflict War Powers Oversight
Where Things Stand
The Senate failed to pass a resolution that would have limited President Trump's power to continue military action against Iran. This vote happened after a month of fighting that killed 13 American service members and injured many others. Because the measure failed, the president can continue the conflict without a new vote or debate from Congress.
