Senate Votes to Take Up Measure to Force Trump to End Iran War.

[0311]

With four Republican backers, Democrats won a vote to advance a resolution that would force the president to end hostilities or win authorization from Congress. The Senate on Tuesday agreed to take up a measure that would force President Trump to end the war in Iran or win authorization from Congress to continue it, after a handful of Republicans joined Democrats in pushing forward with a resolution the G.O.P. has managed to block for months.

Senator Bill Cassidy, the Louisiana Republican who lost his primary over the week
end after Mr. Trump targeted him for defeat, was the latest member of his party to switch his vote and side with Democrats in an effort to limit the president’s war powers. That, combined with the absences of several other Republicans, was enough to push the resolution forward.

The vote was 50 to 47 to advance the resolution, allowing it to be debated and receive a vote in the coming weeks. It was the eighth attempt by Democrats and a single Republican to rein in Mr. Trump’s war powers since he began the military campaign, now in its third month, which a majority of Americans say he should never have launched.

The President does NOT have the power to make war, that is up to the Legislative. HIS war is illegal and Unconstitutional.

That is completely and totally untrue.

But the Congress now has the right and responsibility to exercise some control over what's going on.
That's the way system is supposed to work.

Now, we can refer to the Democrats as the surrender party.
