The War Powers Ruse: Senate's Inaction Emboldens Trump's Aggressive Stance The latest rejection of a Senate resolution to limit President Trump's war powers in Iran is a stark reminder of the body's ineffectiveness in checking the executive branch's authority.
On February 26, the Senate voted 49 50 against a resolution that would have restricted Trump's ability to engage in hostilities without congressional approval.
This defeat marks the second time in recent weeks that such an effort has failed.
