Sen. Tim Kaine, a Virginia Democrat, said Democrats plan to force a War Powers vote every week until the Iran war ends, arguing the conflict is illegal without congressional approval and warning the White House will face stiff resistance to a major defense-budget increase tied to the war.
Republicans who control Congress are preparing for a contentious debate over how to pay for the U.S. military campaign against Iran, as independent estimates put the conflict’s cost to date near $30 billion and lawmakers warn the 1973 War Powers Resolution’s 60-day clock is approaching.
