00:00On Tuesday, the United States Senate approved a War Power Resolution
00:03preventing President Donald Trump from continuing hostilities against Iran.
00:07The resolution passed by a 50-48 vote,
00:11with four Republicans joining Democrats to back a measure
00:14seeking to limit the United States President's military authority.
00:17The vote marked that the first time a War Powers resolution
00:20had successfully passed the vote chambers of Congress.
00:23It would require the President to seek Congress' authorization
00:26to use military force against Iran.
00:29In addition, the vote reflects the growing discontent in Congress
00:33over the nearly four-month-long conflict
00:35and underscores the White House's growing isolation
00:38in its actions against the Middle East.
