Senate fails to override President Trump's veto of a bipartisan resolution aimed to limit the administration's military actions against Iran without congressional approval.
Members of Congress from both parties expressed concern after the U.S. launched an airstrike that killed a top Iranian general in Iraq in January. Lawmakers said they feared that Iran and the U.S. were perilously close to all-out conflict and moved to restrain further actions Trump might take against Iran.
Kaine said Trump's comments misconstrued the Constitution. Addressing Trump, he said,"Mr. President, you cannot tell the Article I branch how to do its job.'' The tensions also spiked when U.S. forces killed Iran’s most powerful general in early January. Iran responded with a ballistic missile attack on a base in western Iraq where U.S. troops were present. No Americans were killed, but more than 100 suffered traumatic brain injuries from the blasts.
