Senate lawmakers have approved a war powers resolution directing President Donald Trump to halt U.S. hostilities with Iran or seek congressional approval.
Four Republicans crossed party lines to join most Democrats in voting for the measure. The move comes as some Republicans are disgruntled with Trump's deal with Iran to end the war.
This marks the first time both chambers of Congress have passed a resolution directing a president to remove U.S. armed forces from hostilities since the War Powers Act was enacted in 1973. It was the 10th time the Senate has tried to stop the war.
President Trump criticized the resolution as meaningless, characterizing the rare break with the White House as largely symbolic.
