The vote marked the latest setback for congressional Democrats, who have pledged to continue bringing the #WarPowers measures to the floor even though each of them has failed.
“We’re going to force this vote every week until the #Senate says we shouldn’t be at #war. And I do believe that day is coming,” Sen. Tim Kaine (Virginia), one of the Democrats leading the effort, told reporters.
