Democrats push new vote to limit Trump’s war powers on Iran




US Senator Chuck Schumer criticised President Donald Trump over the conflict with Iran, accusing him of dragging Americans into an “illegal, costly war without any goals or without any endgame”.

In a post on X, Schumer said Democrats would force a seventh vote this week on a War Powers Resolution aimed at withdrawing US troops from hostilities involving Iran.

Schumer said Republicans would continue to “bear the blame for Trump’s war” if they voted against the measure.

The War Powers Resolution was created to limit a president’s ability to wage war without congressional approval beyond 60 days of military engagement.

Democratic lawmakers have repeatedly attempted in recent weeks to curb US involvement in the conflict, though most votes in Congress have split along party lines, with Republicans holding the majority.

Trump dragged America into a war—an illegal, costly war without any goals or without any endgame—and has the nerve to call it a “mini-war”

The best way to lower costs and end this chaos is to end this illegal war: Democrats are forcing a seventh vote on our War Powers Resolution…
