Congress prepares to vote on a war powers resolution

Congress is preparing to vote on a war powers resolution following President Trump’s decision to wage war against Iran. Both the House and Senate are getting ready to vote on a resolution that would restrict Donald Trump’s ability to continue major combat operations against Iran. Under the U.S. Constitution, it’s up to Congress, not the president, to decide when the country goes to war. The looming votes come as lawmakers demand answers over the military strategy in Iran, exit plan, and costs to Americans in lives and dollars.
