It’s a resolution not a bill, so not much weight. Basically an opinion.

It is not just a just a resolution, it is a “War Powers Resolution” which has special rules. By voting 52-47, the Senate successfully used the War Powers Act’s special “privileged” rules. This allowed them to bypass the usual 60-vote filibuster and pass the measure with just a simple majority. It is now passed, and goes to the House.

If it does pass the House, Trump can veto it.
