FORGOTTEN HISTORY: Iran war powers votes expected very soon | History Defined

The backers of two resolutions in the House and Senate aimed at preventing President Donald Trump from attacking Iran are gearing up to force the issue soon.

Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., who previously said he was waiting for diplomatic efforts to play out before forcing a vote, vowed Wednesday to bring his Iran war powers resolution to the floor “very soon,” though he would not provide a more specific timeline.

“Virginians don’t want our sons and daughters in another war in the Middle East right now, especially one that’s unnecessary, especially one that’s just at the whim of the say-so of one person is waged,” Kaine said. “So I’ll do everything I can to stop it.”
