House and Senate passed same language.
First time. Mostly symbolic but tells mood of Congress
See Collins and Murkowski don't always vote with Trump.
Cassidy that Trump campaigned against voted for it.
See it matters when Mitch isn't there. He has always voted for Trump on it.

The Senate adopted a resolution on Tuesday directing the president to remove military forces from the conflict with Iran, a significant rebuke to Donald Trump and a strong message that the war lacks support in Congress.

Democrats have repeatedly forced votes to limit Trump’s war powers in both the House and the Senate — a campaign that has gradually picked up more GOP support in recent weeks, drawing the president’s ire.

GOP Sens. Rand Paul, Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski and Bill Cassidy joined Democrats in voting for the resolution, while Democratic Sen. John Fetterman voted against it. The final tally was 50-48. The absences of GOP Sens. Mitch McConnell and Dave McCormick, who have previously voted against advancing war powers resolutions, contributed to the measure’s adoption.

Senate votes to limit Trump’s Iran war powers in rare rebuke
