Senate Democrats seek seventh vote to curb Trump's war powers




US Senator Chuck Schumer urged Republicans to support a War Powers Resolution aimed at ending President Donald Trump’s military campaign against Iran, arguing that the conflict was driving up fuel prices across the United States.

In a post on X, Schumer said Americans were paying more than $4.50 a gallon for petrol because Trump “refuses to end this war”.

Schumer said Republicans should support Democrats’ latest attempt to pass the War Powers Resolution if they genuinely wanted to lower costs and protect US troops.

Democrats are preparing a seventh vote on the measure, which is intended to prevent presidents from continuing military conflicts without congressional approval beyond 60 days.

Previous attempts to pass the resolution have largely failed along party lines, with Democrats remaining in the minority in Congress.

Americans are paying over $4.50/gallon for gas because Trump refuses to end this war.

If Republicans care at all about lowering costs and defending our troops, they will support Democrats’ War Powers Resolution to end this war with Iran.
