The U.S. Senate voted 50-48 to approve a war powers resolution directing President Donald Trump to halt military action against Iran without explicit congressional authorization. The measure, supported by four Republican senators alongside most Democrats, marks the first time both chambers of Congress have passed a resolution ordering a president to remove U.S. forces from ongoing hostilities under the 1973 War Powers Act. Although the resolution is largely symbolic and faces opposition from the White House, which calls it unconstitutional, it reflects growing bipartisan concern over executive war powers and the unpopular conflict that began in February 2026.
