US Senate advances a war powers resolution on Iran by 50 to 47 in a procedural vote

Reportedon one origin only: 1 distinct origin, 0 tied to no party.

The US Senate voted 50 to 47 on 19 May to advance a War Powers Resolution that would bar further US military action against Iran without congressional authorisation, with a handful of Republicans joining Democrats. It still needed final Senate passage, House approval and two-thirds majorities to overcome an expected veto; Republicans had blocked seven earlier Senate attempts this year.
