[U.S. Senate Fails to Block Continued Military Action Against Iran] According to a report by Jinse Finance, on March 4 local time, the U.S. Senate held a procedural vote on a resolution aimed at limiting the president's war powers. The vote tally was 52 against and 47 in favor, deciding not to advance the resolution—meaning this vote blocked a bipartisan resolution intended to "halt airstrikes on Iran and require congressional authorization for any hostile actions against Iran." According to the U.S. Constitution, only Congress has the authority to declare war. A law passed by the U.S. Congress in 1973 stipulates that the U.S. president can only take limited military action without congressional authorization in cases of national emergency caused by attacks on the United States, its territories, or its armed forces.
