Senate Votes to Take Up Measure to Force Trump to End Iran War – https://www.nytimes.com/2026/05/19/us/politics/senate-iran-war-authorization.html
“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 weekend 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 presidentβs 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. Trumpβs war powers since he began the military campaign, now in its third month, which a majority of Americans say he should never have launched.”
