Trump vetoes bill that would limit his war powers against Iran
President Trump vetoed legislation Wednesday that would require his administration to seek clearance from Congress for any military action against Iran.
The resolution, which was introduced by Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia, would have barred U.S. troops from engaging in hostilities against Iran or any part of its government or military without authorization from Congress. It followed a U.S. airstrike that killed a top Iranian general in January.
Trump said in his statement that the resolution was “based on misunderstandings of facts and law. Contrary to the resolution, the United States is not engaged in the use of force against Iran. “
