Democrats look to ramp up fight over Trump's war powers

A pair of House-passed bills seeking to rein in President Trump on Iran are dead on arrival in the Senate, but Democrats say the fight over the issue is not over.
The Senate still has to vote on its version of a different measure, the so-called war powers resolution, which the House will then have to pass too. And Democrats are looking to the annual defense policy bill, which will likely provide the next battleground over Trump's Iran strategy.
Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.), who sponsored one of the bills approved this past week, is vowing to address Iran war authorities in the defense legislation.
