They are expecting a briefing from the administration, but nothing has been scheduled before Friday\u2019s planned deadline for the two sides to sign the agreement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The vote was 47-48, with four Republicans joining most Democrats in supporting the war powers resolution. That fell short of the majority needed to advance it.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><span>\u201cJoin me in putting a check on this president\u2019s lawless warmongering,\u201d said Sen. Raphael Warnock, D-Ga., who proposed the resolution, in a speech before the voting.<\/span><\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div><span>Get Starting Point<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span>A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday.<\/span><\/div>\n<div>\n<div><label>Enter Email<\/label><\/p>\n<div><button>Sign Up<\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span>\u201cThe time is always right to do what\u2019s right,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The measure was the ninth time the senators have tried to advance a resolution to end the war that U.S. and Israel launched against Iran over the nation\u2019s nuclear program. Trump launched the war on his own, without congressional approval, but as it drags on lawmakers have grown concerned over the costs, strategy and end game.<\/span><\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<h3>Congress begins to exert influence over the war<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span>The House for the first time approved its own war powers resolution to halt U.S. military action against Iran this month, when a small number of Republicans crossed over to join with the Democrats to pass the measure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Meanwhile, the Senate has settled into a familiar pattern, one vote short of the tally that would be needed to pass the measure, if all senators are present and voting.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Republicans Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Susan Collins of Maine, Rand Paul of Kentucky and Bill Cassidy of Louisiana voted in favor of the war powers resolution. Democratic Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania voted against.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Cassidy broke ranks with his party last month, voting for the first time to end the military action against Iran after having lost his own primary reelection bid in Louisiana. Trump had endorsed his challenger.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/bostonrelocationinsider.com\/?p=2888\">Republican divides and strange alliances emerge ahead of Georgia runoff<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span>One Republican to watch, retiring Sen.

But I have a discerning eye over what the agreement will say.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<h3>More votes ahead on Iran war<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span>Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia has been leading the party\u2019s efforts to halt the war in Iran unless Congress has authorized it. He vowed to keep pushing the measures forward on an almost weekly basis.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Kaine has argued that as negotiations are underway to end the conflict, Congress must work to ensure the U.S. does not resume military strikes in what has been a fragile ceasefire.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cIf we\u2019re really in a period of maybe some stability here, let\u2019s not just allow it to start up again without Congress being involved in that decision,\u201d Kaine said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cIf there are deals on the table, I don\u2019t know that we want the president to be the sole determinant of whether a deal\u2019s a good thing,\u201d he said. \u201cHe may decide, well that\u2019s not a good enough deal, let\u2019s go back to war. Well, hold on a second. We might want to weigh in on that.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Senators are also beginning to discuss what Congress will do, if anything, to provide oversight of Trump\u2019s emerging Iran deal. Some senators have said the Senate must vote on any agreement the Trump administration strikes with Iran over its nuclear program. Others have said a vote in Congress is not necessary.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Congress in 2015 approved the Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act, which spells out out requirements for the administration to submit any deal involving Iran\u2019s nuclear program for review by Congress.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/bostonrelocationinsider.com\/?p=2886\">Here\u2019s your World Cup forecast for tonight\u2019s match in Foxborough<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span><i>Associated Press writer Mary Clare Jalonick contributed to this report.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Senators of both parties have have been skeptical of the Trump administration\u2019s emerging Iran deal and frustrated by the White House\u2019s refusal to share details.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2891,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2892","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
