The Senate rejected a Tim Kaine resolution ordering the removal of US forces from hostilities with Iran, voting 50 to 47 after briefings from Vice President JD Vance and special envoy Steve Witkoff persuaded several Republicans to oppose the measure.The outcome is a political victory for Donald Trump, who has signed a 60‑day ceasefire memorandum and told allies the administration views the 1973 War Powers Resolution as unconstitutional and subject to veto.The vote follows a tense GOP luncheon at the Capitol where
Donald Trump confronted Republican senators who had backed earlier war-limiting measures, pressed for passage of the
SAVE America Act and threatened to withhold support for a bipartisan housing bill.
