Bipartisan revolt targets Trump’s war powers after massive Iran strikes

Sen. Tim Kaine and Rep. Thomas Massie are pushing for votes on war powers resolutions to constrain President Donald Trump’s ability to deploy the military in response to Iran-related actions.

The bipartisan effort seeks to handcuff presidential leverage in future conflicts by requiring congressional authorization and limiting executive authority.

The push comes amid recent Iranian strikes, highlighting ongoing debates over the balance of war powers between Congress and the presidency.
