Senate Republicans blocked for a fourth time a Democratic measure that would prohibit Trump from taking further military action in Iran without congressional approval.
The war powers resolution, which required a simple majority to pass, was voted down 47-52, largely along party lines. Once again, Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., was the only Republican to vote for the measure, while Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., was the only Democrat or independent to vote against it. (Sen. Jim Justice, R-W.Va., missed the vote.)
Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., said Democrats hoped to bring another war powers resolution before the Senate as early as next week.
“We’re going to do it again and again and again and again,” he said on MS Now. “We’re going to hold Republicans accountable.”
