The United States Senate rejected a resolution on Thursday to limit President Donald Trump's war powers regarding the war in Iran. The vote ended 47 to 49, with only one Republican —establishment senator Susan Collins— voting with the Democrats.
For his part, Democratic Senator John Fetterman left the Democratic bloc and voted with the Republicans, while Republican senators Rand Paul and Lisa Murkowski were absent for the vote. The bill regarding Trump's war powers came from the House of Representatives, which voted earlier today in favor of the measure by 214 votes to 208.
According to CBS News, there were four traitorous Republican congressmen who voted with the opposition to approve the measure that hindered Trump's military powers: Barrett, Fitzpatrick, Davidson, and the already known Thomas Massie.

The resolution was led by leftist senator Chris Van Hollen from Maryland, and ordered the president to "withdraw the Armed Forces of the United States from hostilities within or against Iran, unless explicitly authorized by a declaration of war or a specific authorization for the use of military force."
