Concerned ME Woman To Vote Against War Powers Bill

June 27, 2025 Republicans, Trump cultists

Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia introduced the war powers resolution days before the U.S. bombed three locations central to Iran’s nuclear program, seeking to force the president to get congressional authorization before entering the conflict between Israel and Iran.

In an interview last week with CBS News’ Major Garrett, Kaine acknowledged that his resolution could fail but said he wanted his colleagues to be on the record about U.S. involvement in another war.

“Everyone in the Senate should agree that this is a matter of such gravity and importance that we shouldn’t allow war to begin without Congress having a debate in full view of the American public and members of the Senate and House having to go on the record about it,” he said.

Read the full article. The vote is happening any minute.

Sen. Collins will oppose the Iran war powers resolution. She voted for one in 2020 but says this time is different. Statement below.

Looking like no more than 2-3 Republicans will back Kaine’s effort, falling short of simple majority.
