Bipartisan Lawmakers Push for War Powers Resolution on Iran

Bipartisan lawmakers in the House and Senate are advocating for a vote on a war powers resolution aimed at restraining President Donald Trump's military actions against Iran, which they argue lack formal congressional authorization.

The debate highlights ongoing tensions regarding the separation of powers in military decision-making, as many Republicans support the president's actions in response to Iran's nuclear capabilities.
