Quote:War powers resolutions are one of the few ways for Democrats — as well as Republicans concerned Trump has not come to Congress — to push back.
Quote:The War Powers Resolution, which Congress passed in 1973 over President Richard M. Nixon’s veto in response to the Vietnam War, lets a single member of Congress force a vote on withdrawing U.S. forces from a conflict or blocking strikes when hostilities are imminent. But the hurdles to enacting such resolutions are high because the Supreme Court ruled in 1983 that presidents could veto them, which Congress can override only with a two-thirds majority in each chamber. No war powers resolution has ever overcome a veto.

Quote:In a 47 to 53 vote, the resolution fell short of the simple majority it needed to advance. With Democratic Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania voting against the measure, it needed the support of at least five Republicans. Only GOP Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky supported it.
Quote:The measure failed in a 212 to 219 vote, with four Democrats joining all but two Republicans to kill it.
