The Republican-controlled US Senate passed a legislative measure on Tuesday aimed at stopping American military operations against Iran, Reuters reported.
The direct impact on the ground remains uncertain as President Donald Trump's administration actively works to hammer out a peace accord with Tehran.
The concurrent resolution cleared the chamber in a tight 50-48 vote, following its approval by the House of Representatives earlier in the month.
The final tally fell mostly along party lines, though four Republicans crossed the aisle to vote alongside almost every Democrat. Two Republican senators sat out the vote entirely.
The approved text orders the president to withdraw American troops from active hostilities involving Iran, though the mandate is expected to function as a primarily symbolic gesture.
Because the measure was filed under the 1973 War Powers Act, it bypasses the executive branch and will not land on Trump's desk for an official signature.

Nope.
Just a useless Resolution.
I hope so. But comes November, if things go badly, guess what the usual suspects will use as grounds for impeachment, and guess what Iran will use to cobble together some leverage in negotiations. Thanks a ton, RINOs.
The peasants were never represented. We just keep paying taxes and think so.
Gives President Trump an exit ramp.
I hope he takes it.
He won’t. Trump will be Trump. No one will tell him what to do.
The midterm timing, messaging, has been turrible
Fifty years hasn’t been long enough for you...,?
Folks in the middle East have as little understanding of our politics
as I do about their politics.
Here, this “resolution” is meaningless,
but there, they think it is a big deal.
“Gives President Trump an exit ramp.
I hope he takes it.”
Why?
What more do you need to know that they have no concern for the security of their own nation.
Republican-led. ROFL!! When have they ever led anything? They’ve allowed RINOS and RATS to lead them around for years.
Going to need lotsa popcorn watching the GOP lose this midterm.
Led towards the exit maybe......
Great timing, right in the middle of negotiations. 🙄
Permanently led to the exit would be good.
I agree with mass55th. Republicans are moronic and cowardly.
Because I believe in “America First,” not “Israel First.”
This is just a taste of things to come.
As we approach the midterms, Republicans in Congress will undermine Trump’s unpopular policies.
It's saying, WE, meaning Congress, own the War Powers....not the CIC.
