On March 4 local time, the U.S. Senate conducted a procedural vote on a measure to limit the president’s war powers. The vote resulted in 52 votes against and 47 votes in favor, and it was decided not to advance the bill—meaning this vote blocked a bipartisan resolution aimed at “stopping airstrikes against Iran and requiring that any hostile action against Iran be authorized by Congress.” Under the U.S. Constitution, only Congress can authorize the initiation of war. The law passed by the U.S. Congress in 1973 stipulates that, during a national emergency triggered by an attack against the United States, its territory, or possessions, or against its armed forces, the U.S. president can undertake limited military actions without Congressional authorization.
