On June 16, a Democratic senator proposed legislation on Monday to prevent Trump from using military force against Iran without congressional authorization. Currently, the ongoing battles between Israel and Iran have raised concerns about a broader conflict.
For years, Tim Kaine from Virginia has been trying to reclaim Congress's war powers from the White House. During Trump's first term, in 2020, Kaine proposed a similar resolution to limit Trump's ability to wage war against Iran. The measure passed in both the Senate and the House, gaining some Republican support, but did not secure enough votes to override a presidential veto from the Republican president. (Jin Shi)
