When the Team Matters More Than the Strategy

On June 23, the United States Senate passed a war powers resolution directing the president to remove American forces from hostilities against Iran. The vote was 50 to 48. Four Republicans crossed. Every Democrat voted yes except one, John Fetterman of Pennsylvania. It was the first time both chambers of Congress have passed a concurrent war powers resolution directing a sitting president to remove forces from a conflict since the War Powers Act passed in 1973.
