07:19 23.4.2026
The US Senate on April 22 voted 51-46 to reject a Democratic-led effort to limit President Donald Trump’s authority to use military force against Iran.
It was the fifth such attempt since the start of the eight-week conflict. The proposal, led by Senator Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin, would have required the withdrawal of US armed forces from hostilities within or against Iran unless explicitly authorized by Congress.
Democrat John Fetterman voted with most Republicans against the measure, while Republican Rand Paul joined Democrats in supporting it.
Democrats said they would continue pressing for further war powers votes.
