💨 Abstract

The U.S. Senate voted 53-47 against a Democratic resolution aimed at limiting the president's authority to use military force against Iran without congressional approval. The resolution, introduced by Senator Tim Kaine, sought to require congressional authorization for any future strikes beyond self-defense or imminent threats. Senator Rand Paul supported the resolution, while several Republicans who backed a similar measure in 2020 now opposed it, citing Trump's stated intentions and the current context.
