The Senate on Tuesday voted to block U.S. military action in Iran for the first time as the war approaches its fourth month.

The war powers resolution passed by a vote of 50–48. Sen. John Fetterman, again, was the lone Democrat to vote in the negative.

Pennsylvania Republican Sen. Dave McCormick, who was in his home state for a visit by President Trump to a Mack truck plant in the Lehigh Valley, was absent.

Four Republicans — Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Susan Collins of Maine, Rand Paul of Kentucky and Bill Cassidy of Louisiana — supported the measure.

    No he’s mentally ill, which is why he gravitates towards Trump and his Israeli handlers

      Stuff like this makes him seem compromised. Republicans get the excuse of party loyalty. There is literally no legal or moral justification for voting against this and Fetterman isn’t technically in the Republican party to be loyal to.
