US Senator Chuck Schumer accused President Donald Trump of involving Americans in what he described as an “illegal and costly war” lacking clear objectives or an exit strategy, adding that Democrats would seek another vote aimed at halting the conflict.

“The best way to lower costs and end this chaos is to end this illegal war: Democrats are forcing a seventh vote on our War Powers Resolution this week to withdraw US troops from hostilities with Iran,” Schumer said.

“If Republicans vote against our resolution, they will continue to bear the blame for Trump’s war,” he said in a post on X.

The War Powers Resolution was created to restrict presidents from continuing military action beyond 60 days without approval from Congress.

Democrats have made repeated efforts to advance the resolution, but the measures have largely failed as voting in Congress has mostly followed party divisions.
