The U.S. Senate has blocked a Democratic resolution aimed at limiting President Trump's authority to engage in military action against Iran. The resolution, introduced by Senator Adam Schiff, was defeated in a procedural vote with 47 senators in favor and 50 against. This marks the sixth attempt by Democrats to curtail the president's war powers as the 60-day deadline under the 1973 War Powers Resolution approaches. The resolution sought to compel the president to withdraw U.S. military forces from hostilities with Iran unless Congress authorizes further action. President Trump notified Congress of hostilities with Iran on March 2, initiating the 60-day period, which concludes on May 1. The president has the option to extend this period by an additional 30 days to facilitate troop withdrawal.
