President Donald Trump on Wednesday vetoed a joint resolution that would have limited his ability to use military power against Iran without Congressional approval.
The U.S. Senate is expected to hold a vote Thursday that could potentially override President Donald Trump's veto of a joint resolution restricting the president's power to use the military in launching attacks against Iran.
Trump vetoed the resolution months after it passed both chambers of Congress, with eight Republican senators having joined Democrats in voting to limit the president's ability to use military force without prior Congressional authorization. The resolution"would have greatly harmed the President's ability to protect the United States, its allies, and its partners... Congress should not have passed this resolution," Trump concluded.
