Senate Rejects Resolution Limiting Trump War Powers with Fetterman Joining GOP
The U.S. Senate voted 53-47 to reject a resolution aimed at limiting President Donald Trump's authority to launch military strikes against Iran without congressional approval. The resolution, sponsored by Senator Tim Kaine (D-VA), sought to prohibit offensive military actions while preserving the president's ability to defend U.S. forces. Despite the recent ceasefire announced by Trump between Iran and Israel, he reiterated his willingness to bomb Iran again if necessary to prevent nuclear armament. The vote revealed sharp partisan divisions, with Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) breaking ranks to side with Republicans against the resolution, citing concerns that restricting presidential military action could hinder future successful operations. Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) was the lone Republican to support the resolution, emphasizing the constitutional role of Congress in declaring war and criticizing unilateral presidential decisions. Senate Republican leaders accused Democrats of hypocrisy, referencing past Democratic presidents' military actions without congressional approval, while Fetterman emerged as a strong proponent of military force against Iran, aligning with his pro-Israel stance and bipartisan appeal in Pennsylvania.
