President Trump Vetoes Iran War Powers Resolution

The resolution said Congress would have to authorize military operations with a vote, except in cases when the U.S. faces an “imminent attack.”

President Donald Trump has vetoed a resolution that would have prevented him from taking military action in Iran without congressional authorization. 

The president announced the veto in a statement Wednesday. It’s his seventh veto since taking office. 

The Senate passed the resolution in February. It would have required that Congress authorize any military operations with a vote, except in cases when the U.S. faces an “imminent attack.” 

Each chamber of Congress would need a two-thirds majority to override his veto.
