The US Senate on Thursday vetoed a procedural motion aimed at advancing a resolution limiting the power of war to take military action against Iran. The voting results were 49 votes in favor and 50 against, and the motion was not passed. The motion sought to remove resolution S.J. Res.181 submitted by Senator Kirsten Gillibrand from the Senate Foreign Relations Committee for consideration by the full Senate. The resolution is based on the War Powers Resolution, which requires the US to obtain permission from Congress before carrying out specific military actions against Iran.
