The Senate will vote Wednesday on a Democratic-led Iran war powers resolution, according to a press release from Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and bill co-sponsors Sens. Tim Kaine and Adam Schiff.

The resolution would direct the removal of United States armed forces from hostilities within or against Iran that have not been authorized by Congress. It comes after recent U.S. strikes on Iran that killed several Iranian leaders, including Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the supreme leader of Iran.

There is no timeline in the bill, so if it passed and President Donald Trump signed it, the U.S. would have to draw down troops.

Because this bill is privileged, it would only need 51 votes to advance and ultimately be approved by the Senate. It's not yet clear whether the legislation will have that support, but at this time it seems unlikely to advance.

On whether the US constitution has been cancelled

7. Almost all presidents since 1973 have used the war powers act

The Act requires the President to notify Congress within 48 hours of committing troops to military action and requires that forces be withdrawn within 60 to 90 days unless Congress authorizes a longer period or declares war.

Hell..this fucker won't notify anyone about troops being deployed nor will he care about some ridiculous 60/90 days withdrawal date.

10. You really think every time US troops have been in combat since 1973 it was approved by Congress? No.
