According to reports, on June 16, a senator from the Democratic Party proposed a legislative measure on Monday aimed at preventing Trump from taking military action against Iran without formal authorization from Congress. This initiative comes amid escalating tensions between Israel and Iran, raising concerns in the international community about the potential expansion of regional conflict.
Senator Tim Kane from Virginia has long worked to restore Congress's constitutional authority in war decision-making. It is worth noting that back in 2020, during Trump's first term, Kane pushed for a similar resolution aimed at limiting the executive branch's authority to unilaterally launch military strikes against Iran. At that time, the resolution passed both the Senate and the House of Representatives, and even won the support of some Republican lawmakers, but in the end it failed to overcome the president's veto due to insufficient votes.
The legislative proposal has once again sparked discussions about the separation of powers in the U.S. government and the distribution of war powers, which is particularly important given the complex and changing situation in the Middle East.
