Four Republicans broke with their party to <\/strong>support the measure, which passed<\/a> the House of Representatives earlier this month \u2013 key US politics stories from Tuesday 23 June at a glance
The US Senate<\/a> approved a war powers resolution preventing Donald Trump<\/a> from continuing hostilities against Iran, delivering the president a significant but symbolic rebuke over a conflict<\/a> that has proven unpopular with the American public.
The resolution passed by a 50-48 vote, with four Republicans<\/a> \u2013 Susan Collins of Maine, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Bill Cassidy of Louisiana and Rand Paul of Kentucky \u2013 breaking with their party to <\/strong>support its adoption. John Fetterman, of Pennsylvania, was the sole Democrat to vote against the resolution.
The measure, which passed<\/a> the House of Representatives earlier this month, would require the president to seek Congress\u2019s authorization to use military force against Iran. It comes after Trump dispatched<\/a> JD Vance to Switzerland to negotiate a settlement that would resolve the conflict the US began alongside Israel in February.
The resolution does not require the president\u2019s signature, and Trump and his Republican allies have questioned the constitutionality of the 1973 War Powers Act under which it was passed. Nonetheless, its success underscores the discontent among Republicans over a conflict that has grown deeply unpopular with voters ahead of the November midterm elections, in which Republicans will be defending their control of Congress.
The resolution\u2019s passage in the Senate was enabled by the absences of two Republicans: Dave McCormick of Pennsylvania and Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, who was admitted<\/a> to the hospital last week. Neither has supported previous war powers resolutions, which Democrats have been forcing votes on regularly since the war with Iran began.
