Trump vetoes legislation limiting prez powers to rage war.
United States President Donald Trump vetoed legislation passed by both houses of Congress seeking to limit a president’s ability to wage war against Iran.
United States President Donald Trump vetoed legislation passed by both houses of Congress seeking to limit a president’s ability to wage war against Iran.
The resolution, which passed the House of Representatives in March and the Senate in February, was the latest effort by Congress to wrest back from the White House its constitutionally guaranteed authority to declare war. A handful of Republicans in both houses supported the measure when it passed, but not enough to muster the two-thirds majority necessary in both houses to override a veto.
The Democratic-controlled House voted 227-186, mostly along party lines, sending the war powers resolution to the Senate. The partisan vote reflected the deep divide in Congress over Trump’s Iran policy and how much of a say lawmakers should have over the use of the military.
The move marks the seventh time Trump has used his veto pen, including on a previous war powers resolution related to the US military’s assistance to Saudi Arabia in Yemen’s civil war.
