The Senate voted 47-53 against the resolution, introduced by Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) in January and backed by Republican Sen. Rand Paul (Ky.), that would compel the president “to remove the United States Armed Forces from hostilities within or against Iran” and seek congressional approval for further hostilities. The vote comes as the House is also deliberating over other war powers resolutions — including one led by New Jersey Democratic Rep. Josh Gottheimer that would either give the president enough time to remove US forces or give Congress the chance to authorize the military conflict. The other version of the war powers resolution would give Trump a 30-day off ramp to end hostilities and withdraw all forces — as opposed to the more abrupt timeline of the Khanna-Massie resolution.
