The Senate again rejected advancing a measure to direct President Donald Trump to end the war in Iran, a vote that comes as a brief respite in fighting appears to be over. The Senate voted 49-50 on Thursday against discharging from the Senate Foreign Relations Committee a war powers resolution offered by Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., that would require Trump to withdraw U.S. forces from fighting against Iran unless specifically authorized by Congress. As with some of the dozen past Iran war powers votes, GOP Sens. Sen. Bill Cassidy, R-La., who has voted both ways previously, this time voted against advancing the resolution. Senate Democrats have forced near-weekly votes on similar measures since the war began in February.
