WASHINGTON (AP)— U.S. Senate Democrats forced another vote on legislation that would have halted President Donald Trump from continuing the war with Iran without congressional approval, but the vote failed along familiar lines.
The vote breakdown and a total of 47-53 was unchanged from last week on a similar war powers resolution. Kansas U.S. Senators Jerry Moran and Roger Marshall voted against the measure.
Democrats forced this vote mostly to bring up another debate on the war and force the Senate for a couple hours officially off the topic of a GOP push to impose strict voter identification requirements.
Democrats are threatening to force more votes on the war unless Republicans agree to hold Cabinet-level hearings on the conflict.
