March 4 (UPI) -- The U.S. Senate is set to vote Wednesday on a Democrat-led war powers resolution that would severely limit President Donald Trump's abilities in Iran.
The resolution is sponsored by 24 Democrats, two independents and Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., and it would stop Trump from ordering more strikes on Iran without Congressional approval.
The measure comes after the United States and Israel launched attacks on Iran last week. So far, six U.S. soldiers have died, and U.S. forces have killed Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
The bill would force the removal of U.S. troops from hostilities within or against Iran that Congress has not authorized. It only needs 51 votes in the Senate, and it's not clear whether it has enough supporters to pass.
Even if the Senate measure passes, it would have to pass the House and be signed by Trump, which is unlikely. A veto override would require a two-thirds vote in both chambers, which is also unlikely.
