If passed by the House and Senate, measure does not need US president's signature to go into effect. FMTNews DonaldTrump USHouse

The partisan vote reflected the deep divide in Congress over Trump’s Iran policy and how much of a say lawmakers should have over the use of the military. Republicans said Democrats endangered the country by trying to pass a resolution they characterised as an empty political gesture, at the start of a US general election year.
Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi faulted the White House for failing to consult Congress before the drone strike that killed Qasem Soleimani in Baghdad last week. Trump called Pelosi “Crazy” on Twitter, and told reporters he did not need Congress’ approval for military action against Iran. It was not immediately clear what would follow if the resolution passes the Senate. Legal questions about Congress’ power over the president’s role as commander-in-chief are unresolved.
