💨 Abstract

The article discusses a congressional effort to limit President Donald Trump's authority to launch military strikes against Iran without congressional approval. Tim Kaine introduced a resolution aligning with the War Powers Resolution, requiring presidential consultation with Congress before military action. Despite Democratic support, the resolution faces dim prospects due to Republican majority and their backing of Trump's actions. Sens. Rand Paul and Todd Young are key figures in the debate, with Republicans largely defending Trump's strikes as necessary and Democrats seeking Congressional oversight.
