The resolution “directs the President to remove U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities against Iran unless explicitly authorized by a declaration of war or a congressional authorization for use of military force against Iran.”

The Senate has voted on a War Powers Resolution nine other times, but none of those votes reached the simple majority threshold necessary to pass it until Tuesday.

The vote comes as several GOP senators have broken with Trump over his 14-point memorandum of understanding with Iran, including Senate Armed Services Committee Chair Sen. Roger Wicker, R-Miss.; Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark.; and Ted Cruz, R-Texas, pushing back on it.

2. Thanks. NBC also calls it "symbolic"

and I think that's right. We can't let Rs off the hook because a few of them FINALLY did the right thing.

5. Does anyone ever think he could have a meltdown over things like this that would induce a stroke or heart attack?

I sometimes do, though I’ve always been a bit of an optimist.
