As the Donald Trump administration in the United States continues its Israel-and anti-Iran military operation "Epic Fury" for a sixth day, a resolution in the U.S. Senate to limit President Trump's war powers was voted down.
On the 4th (local time), the U.S. Senate rejected the Democrat-led "war powers resolution" on the floor by a vote of 47 in favor to 53 against.
It is understood that most Republican senators (53 seats) and most Democrats and independents who lean Democratic (47 seats) voted for and against, respectively.
The resolution included a provision to limit additional use of military force against Iran, but it failed to pass as Republican senators largely voted along party lines.
A similar resolution is scheduled for a vote in the House on the 5th, but even if it passes, it is expected to fail again in the Senate.
Even if both the House and Senate pass the resolution, President Trump is expected to exercise his veto.
