Senate fails to override Trump veto on Iran war powers
Marisa Schultz


The Senate failed Thursday to override President Trump's veto of legislation that would have curbed his ability to unilaterally launch military action against Iran without congressional authorization.

The Senate needed a two-thirds majority but came up short with a 49-44 vote, meaning Trump's veto stands. Seven GOP senators joined with Democrats.

Trump vetoed the war powers resolution Wednesday, calling the bipartisan measure "insulting" and argued that it was part of a ploy by Democrats to divide Republicans and oust him from office in November.

A disgusting sign of Republicans' lack of willpower.  Should have never been put on the floor for a vote.  I trust Trump lightyears over anyone in the Senate!
