Details
It is noted that 53 out of 100 senators voted against limiting the president's military powers. The vote was largely along party lines, but Pennsylvania Democrat John Fetterman did not support the bill, while Kentucky Republican Rand Paul sided with the opponents.
Senator Tim Kaine, who initiated the bill, has for years tried to legislate the impossibility of the US declaring war or conducting any military operations without prior congressional consent.
Recall
Donald Trump accused Ayatollah Khamenei of lying about victory over Israel. The US President stated that he saved Khamenei from death and canceled the easing of sanctions after Iran's aggressive statements.
