"But the measure is largely symbolic because the resolution, even after passing both chambers of Congress, will not be sent to Trump for his consideration and does not carry the force of the law.

It could, however, be subject to a legal challenge.

The vote marks the first time that both chambers of Congress have approved a concurrent resolution instructing a president to end a military action since the War Powers Resolution of 1973 was enacted.

Its passing is significant because it adds to the pressure the White House is facing to find an end to the Iran war, as petrol prices have spiked and public opposition to the war has increased."

The House will never follow suit so this is meaningless.

Short term dust because a few Repubs found their spines after announcing their retirement.
