Trump vetoes resolution to limit war power against Iran
Change language:
U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday vetoed a resolution aimed at limiting the president’s power to use military forces against Iran.
“This was a very insulting resolution, introduced by Democrats as part of a strategy to win an election on Nov. 3 by dividing the Republican Party,” Trump said in a statement regarding the veto, adding that “the few Republicans who voted for it played right into their hands.”

Trump noted that the resolution would have harmed the president’s ability to protect the United States, its allies, and partners.
“Congress should not have passed this resolution,” he added.
U.S. media reported later in the day that the Senate on Thursday would attempt to override Trump’s veto, but it is expected to fall short of the two-thirds’ support needed.
