Democrats will force a vote to limit Trump on Iran, along with some Republicans
Democrats are planning a vote to limit President Trump on Iran, with some Republican lawmakers supporting the push. The move reflects concerns about whether Trump has congressional authorization for potential military actions against Iran.
Republicans in Congress largely praised Trump’s strikes on Iran, but a minority joined Democrats in arguing that any further conflict requires congressional authorization.
The development signals a rare bipartisan moment on foreign policy oversight, as lawmakers debate the proper authorization and limits on presidential military action in the region.
