The Senate advanced legislation Wednesday that is intended to curb President Donald Trump’s war powers against Iran, which will pave the way for a final vote, with several Republicans joining Democrats.

The war powers resolution would require the president to remove American troops engaged in hostilities against Iran unless Congress makes a declaration of war or passes an authorization to use military force.
