Some federal lawmakers say Trump should need congressional authorization for any further opposed actions abroad. Reuters reports that voting is set to begin Wednesday. The measure would likely be symbolic, since Trump can veto it; if the Senate passes it, it would go to the president and could only become law with a two-thirds override in both chambers. The war Powers Act allows the president 60 days to deploy troops without congressional approval, with a possible additional 30 days if Congress is notified in writing. Democrats are leading the effort with several Republicans expected to join, though house Speaker mike Johnson has said ther may be enough votes to defeat the resolution. The House vote is anticipated on Thursday.
