00:00And on Tuesday, the U.S. Senate passed a resolution seeking to limit President Donald Trump's war powers for the
00:06first time since the White House began military operations around the world.
00:11This resolution, sponsored by Democrat Senator Tim Kaine, also calls for the withdrawal of U.S. troops involved in the
00:19conflict.
00:20The vote, which passed with 50 votes in favor and 47 against, marks a milestone in legislative resistance to a
00:26war that was never formally declared nor authorized by Congress, as required by the country's constitution.
00:32Nevertheless, this approval in the Senate, despite its symbolic value, faces a difficult path to become law.
00:37The resolution must also pass the Republican-controlled House of Representatives.
