On April 15, 2026, the U.S. Senate voted to reject a Democratic-led war powers resolution concerning the conflict with Iran, which began on February 28, 2026, amid a disputed tally of either 47-52 or a preliminary 51-47. The vote, described variably as the fourth such action or the first, occurs as the War Powers Resolution's 60-day authorization requirement (plus potential 30-day extension) approaches at month's end. Key cross-party votes included Sen. Rand Paul's support and Sen. John Fetterman's opposition.
