Why some Democrats are trying to curb a war powers vote on Trump's Iran strikes
https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/why-some-democrats-are-trying-hobble-war-powers-vote-trumps-iran-strikes(www.middleeasteye.net)A bipartisan effort by Congressmen Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie aims to force a vote on the War Powers Resolution concerning potential US military strikes on Iran. This move seeks to reassert congressional authority over declaring war, a power often assumed by the executive branch since 9/11. However, the vote has been delayed, reportedly due to opposition from within the Democratic party leadership. Some establishment Democrats believe a military confrontation with Iran is necessary, creating a split within the party on how to handle the escalating tensions.
