In a Friday evening vote, the U.S. Senate rejected a war powers resolution that would have blocked President Donald Trump from making further attacks on Iran, despite widespread disapproval of last week’s strikes.

Senators voted 47-53, largely along party lines, on a measure offered by Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., that would have prohibited Trump from offensive measures while preserving his ability to defend U.S. forces.

Kaine’s resolution drew near-unanimous support from Democrats, including Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.

    I feel like Dr. Oz would’ve been taken so many bribes by now he would’ve gotten fired by default

      You’d think so, but look how long it took for George Santos to be kicked out. Someone more charismatic and acceptable to the GOP (not gay) like Oz could have stuck around for decades.
