President Trump had urged senators to vote against the bill, believing that it would “show weakness” to Iran.
I’m proud to cosponsor Sen. Kaine’s War Powers Resolution & pleased the Senate voted to advance it today. This res is an important step in preserving Congress’ constitutional role in matters of nat’l security & makes clear to Trump Admin it can’t drag America into war w/ Iran.
