A war powers resolution to restrain President Trump’s action in Iran failed in the Senate in a 47-53 vote.

GOP Senator Rand Paul broke ranks and voted to restrict President Trump.

Democrat Senator John Fetterman voted with the Republicans to block the war powers resolution.

The Hill reported:

Senate Republicans voted largely along party lines Wednesday to defeat a bipartisan War Powers resolution to halt military action against Iran, even though a number of GOP senators are voicing concerns about the lack of a clear game plan for ending the conflict.

The motion to discharge the resolution from the Senate Foreign Relations Committee failed by a vote of 47-53.

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), who regularly opposes deploying U.S. armed forces in foreign conflicts, was the only Republican to vote to advance the measure.

Two key moderate Republicans, Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine), who faces a tough re-election, and Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), whose political base includes Democrats and moderates in Alaska, both voted to block the resolution even as both included notes of caution about the operation.
