The US Senate on Friday evening rejected a resolution to limit President Trump’s Iran war powers.
The resolution failed in a 47-53 vote.
GOP Senator Rand Paul voted with the Democrats to limit Trump’s Iran war powers and Democrat Senator John Fetterman voted with the Republicans.
CBS News reported:
The Senate on Friday voted down an effort to block President Trump from using further military force against Iran, as Democratic anger festers over the lack of details about the recent strikes on the country’s nuclear facilities.
The measure failed in a 47-53 vote, with Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky voting with most Democrats in favor of the resolution, and Democratic Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania voting with most Republicans against it.
Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia introduced the war powers resolution days before the U.S. bombed three locations central to Iran’s nuclear program, seeking to force the president to get congressional authorization before entering the conflict between Israel and Iran.
“The events of this week have demonstrated that war is too big to be consigned to the decisions of any one person,” Kaine said on the Senate floor ahead of the vote.
On Friday, President Trump said he would bomb Iran again if the intelligence concluded they can enrich uranium.

JUST IN: President Trump says he would absolutely bomb Iran again.
Reporter: If the intelligence report concludes that Iran can enrich uranium to a level that concerns you, would you consider bombing the country again?
Trump: Without question, absolutely. pic.twitter.com/EzGBdaPml3
