Congress gears up for vote on Trump's war powers in Iran -- after the battle began
(NPR) Congress is set to vote on bipartisan war powers resolutions this week meant to limit President Trump's military operations in Iran.
The dual efforts in the House and Senate face uphill battles to become law, as previous efforts have failed in asserting congressional authority to declare war.
But most Democrats and a handful of Republicans on Capitol Hill still support the effort to curb Trump's use of military power in Iran, after the U.S. and Israel launched attacks against Iran over the weekend that have already claimed the first American casualties.
