Democratic Senator John Hickenlooper and a group of senators have submitted a formal resolution that would require President Trump to end U.S. military operations against Iran that have not been authorized by Congress, according to reports.
The resolution, filed Saturday, targets U.S. military operations against Iran that have not received explicit congressional authorization. The move adds to ongoing congressional debate over the president's war powers, which has seen several previous measures—including a Senate War Powers resolution in June and a House resolution in July—rejected or blocked, as The Zioneer has reported. The bill's sponsors have not indicated when a vote may be scheduled.
