"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.

But when it really counted? When they just might have made a real difference?

Too late. See staggering cost of war here. AIPAC, Bibi, Miriam, and Islamophobia bankrupted America

Meaningless vote.
The orange idiot is in a corner and won't attack Iran anymore despite all of his social media bullshit claiming otherwise.
He is desperately trying to find a way out of this stupid stupid war that he insisted on and then lost.
1000% the Senate GOP knew this before voting for this act of political theater so they can go back and campaign on "being independent from trump".
If the voters fall for this obvious farce, then we deserve all the pain and suffering that is coming.
