Trump’s Iran war provoked the Senate enough to get it to symbolically vote to curb his war powers for the first time

The Senate approved a symbolic war powers resolution to block U.S. military action against Iran, marking the first time lawmakers curbed a president's war powers. The 50-48 vote reflects growing concerns over President Trump's Iran conflict and the deal he struck, with four Republicans joining Democrats. Trump criticized the vote as 'poorly timed and meaningless,' while the Pentagon seeks $80 billion for war-related expenses.
