Pressing the Democrat Senate will put a check on the president Donald Trump The powers and once again confirmed the military part of the Senate, closed by lawmakers in the upper house on Thursday.
Hay. Tim Cain A resolution of military powers, which will require Congress to discuss and vote, whether the president will declare war or strike Iran, was shot down in the Senate to a large party vote, except for Senator John Fetterman, D. Who was vocal In his thoughts on the powers of the war in Congress in recent days.
Earlier in a week, the Democrat Virginia promised to move forward with the resolution, despite the delicate ceasefire, which was carried out between Israel and Iran after the weekend strikes at the Key Nuclear Objects of the Islamic Republic, which did not give the green light.

Kane claimed that ceasefire gave its resolution more confidence and respiratory hall to discuss the role that Congress plays properly when it comes to the permission of both war and attack abroad.
He stated that on the eve of the voting on the Senate floor, he came to Washington to make sure that the country did not get into another “unnecessary” war again and referred to the harassment of military powers for the then President George W. Bush for two decades ago to participate with Iraq.
“I think the events of this week demonstrated that the war was too big to give the decision of any person,” Kane said.

Indeed, his resolution became a coordinating moment for the discussion that has been flared up on the Capitol Hill since Israel It began with its bombing campaign against Iran: whether there will be strikes such as those conducted during the Northern Hammer Operation, were an act of war that demanded the approval of Congress, or Trump’s decision was under its constitutional authority as a commander -in -chief.

The Senate Republicans widely claim that Trump was well within his part, while most Senate Democrats have caused constitutional concern to the president’s ability to strike without lawmakers.
Experts also claim that Trump was within his executive power on Iran’s strike.
The Constitution shares military powers between Congress and the White House, giving the legislat the only power to declare war, while the president acts as a commander -in -chief who runs the military.
And almost two centuries later, in the midst of the War in Vietnam, a resolution of the 1973 military forces was born, which sought to further determine these roles.
But the most impact of legislators is the power of the wallet, and Senator Mitch McConselle, R-Ky, who plays a big role in controlling the lines of the wallet, since the Senate Assignment Subcommittee in defense had a sharp message against Kane’s decree.
McConseel has used cases where in the last three decades, democratic presidents have used their powers for limited interaction in Kosovo, Libya, Syria and Yemen, and questioned why the “isolationists” consider a strike on Iran to apply their nuclear program.
“I have not heard frequent leaflets on the resolutions of military forces, which are considered serious with these issues,” he said. “Until they do, such efforts will remain divorced from both strategic and constitutional reality.”
