Democrats To Force Iran War Powers Vote This Week

Democrats in Congress plan to hold a war powers vote this week in response to the recent US attacks on Iran. This move comes as tensions between the US and Iran have escalated. Representative Jason Crow, a Democrat from Colorado, will discuss the details of this proposed vote on the "Bloomberg This Weekend" program. The war powers vote is an attempt by Democrats to limit the President's ability to engage in military actions against Iran without Congressional approval. This vote is expected to be a significant challenge to the Trump administration's handling of the situation with Iran. The article does not provide any additional details about the specific nature of the US attacks on Iran or the broader context of the tensions between the two countries. It focuses solely on the planned Congressional response and the upcoming war powers vote.
