The United States Senate has passed a resolution calling for President Donald Trump to either halt his military campaign against Iran or seek congressional approval before any further action is taken.

On Tuesday, the chamber voted 50 to 48 to pass the resolution, which had been approved in the House of Representatives earlier in the month.

prove the resolution, along with nearly all the chamber’s Democrats, save one.

Tuesday’s vote marked the first time a war powers resolution had successfully passed both chambers of Congress. But the effort is largely symbolic and is not expected to become law.

Tuesday’s breakaway Republicans included Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Susan Collins of Maine and Rand Paul of Kentucky. A further two Republicans did not vote: Mitch McConnell of Kentucky and Dave McCormick of Pennsylvania.

The lone Democrat to side with Republicans on the matter was Pennsylvania’s John Fetterman.

Speaking on the chamber floor, top Democrat Chuck Schumer noted that Tuesday’s vote marked the 10th time the Senate had taken up a war powers resolution to rein in Trump’s military campaign against Iran.

“For years, Trump promised to put maximum pressure on Iran, but he ended up delivering maximum confusion, maximum chaos, maximum cost to the American people with his disastrous war,” Schumer said.

“ Time after time, the vast majority of Senate Republicans sided with Trump and his war, instead of the American people. The American people have paid the price for Trump’s historic blunder in Iran. It’ll go down in the history books as one of the worst foreign policy forays America has ever made.”

Critics of Tuesday’s resolution pointed to the ongoing negotiations as a reason to scuttle the resolution’s passage.

The war powers resolution “directs the President to remove United States Armed Forces from hostilities against the Islamic Republic of Iran”.

Only if “explicitly authorised by a declaration of war or a specific congressional authorisation” would Trump be allowed to use further military force against Iran.

The resolution, however, does allow for limited military presence to remain in the Middle East, in order to prevent any “imminent attack” against the US or its allies.

Still, some Republican senators warned the war powers resolution would weaken Trump’s standing in the Switzerland negotiations.

“If this passes, the Iranians are going to simply stand up and walk away from negotiations,” Senator James Risch of Idaho told the Senate chamber.

“They’re going to say: This thing’s over. The Congress has told the President of the United States, ‘Leave us alone. We can do whatever we want to do,’ and they will walk away.”

Risch also argued that the resolution was essentially useless, given its symbolic nature. “It’s going to have no effect. The president isn’t going to pay any attention to it,” he said.

Growing pressure on Trump
Still, the resolution’s passage shows a growing congressional consensus against the president’s use of military force.

The war against Iran has been widely unpopular in the US. A poll released on Tuesday by the news agency Reuters and the research firm Ipsos found that only 24 percent of US citizens felt the war had been worth the cost.

Prices for essential supplies like oil, natural gas and fertiliser have spiked since the war began, as a result of the Iranian blockade in the Strait of Hormuz and the US response.

Republicans are also facing pressure from voters ahead of November’s heated midterm elections, which will decide whether the right-wing party will maintain its control over both the House and Senate.

In the US, the Constitution gives Congress the sole power to declare war, but that division of power has eroded over the last 75 years, as successive presidents have committed US forces to overseas conflicts.

They thought it would be easy and simple, like Venezuela. The same goes for Russia and Ukraine. War solves nothing; discussion is the key.
