U.S. Senators Take Action to Limit Trump's Power to Wage War on Iran

BlockBeats News, on June 16, a Democratic senator proposed legislation on Monday to prevent Trump from using force against Iran without Congressional authorization. The ongoing escalation of conflict between Israel and Iran has sparked concerns over a broader confrontation.

For years, Tim Kaine from Virginia has been working to reclaim Congress’s authority to declare war from the White House. During Trump's first term in 2020, Kaine introduced a similar resolution aimed at curbing Trump's ability to initiate war with Iran. This measure passed both the Senate and the House of Representatives, earning support from some Republicans, but it failed to gather enough votes to override the Republican president's veto. (Jin10)
