President Trump said the four Republicans who joined Senate Democrats in approving a war powers resolution to end hostilities with Iran have thrown a wrench into the peace negotiations.<\/p>\n

The Senate voted 50-48 to adopt the war powers measure on Wednesday, a few weeks after it passed the House. It was structured as a concurrent resolution, which does not go to Mr. Trump for his signature.<\/p>\n

While the president dismissed the vote as \u201cmeaningless,\u201d he said it has sent the wrong signal to Iran about America\u2019s willingness to resume its bombing campaign if negotiations to permanently end Iran\u2019s nuclear program fall apart.<\/p>\n

Mr. Trump said in a social media post that he had Iran \u201con the \u2019ropes,\u2019 ready to go down for the fall\u201d \u2014 a boxing metaphor \u2014 before the \u201cpoorly timed and meaningless\u201d Senate war powers vote.<\/p>\n

Iran was \u201cwilling to give us practically anything,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The president said the Senate\u2019s approval of the war powers resolution shifted that dynamic.<\/p>\n

It tells Iran, the No. 1 sponsor of terror, \u201cthat the United States doesn\u2019t like what I am doing to them, and I must stop, and by so doing has provided aid and comfort to the Enemy,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIran asked my people, \u2019what does that all mean?\u2019\u201d Mr. Trump said. \u201cThese Senators have just made my job more difficult, but I will get it done, one way or the other, because I always get it done!\u201d<\/p>\n

Concurrent resolutions do not typically carry the force of law but Democrats argue that this one is binding because of authorities that the 1973 War Powers Act gave Congress to prevent or stop armed conflicts that don\u2019t have congressional approval.<\/p>\n

New York Rep. Gregory W. Meeks, the top Democrat on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said if the Trump administration tries to resume its military offensive against Iran in spite of the resolution\u2019s directive, the congressman will \u201cexplore all legal avenues\u201d to force compliance.<\/p>\n

\u201cCongress never authorized this failed war, and the president certainly has no authority to continue it indefinitely without our consent as the Constitution demands,\u201d Mr. Meeks said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Senate Foreign Affairs Chairman James E. Risch, Idaho Republican, said the Supreme Court has ruled the concurrent resolution process unconstitutional.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo whatever happens with this, it\u2019s going to have no effect. The president isn\u2019t going to pay any attention to it,\u201d he said in floor remarks ahead of the vote.<\/p>\n

The president called the four Republican senators who voted with Democrats in support of the war powers resolution \u201closers.\u201d<\/p>\n

The four were Sens. Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, Susan Collins of Maine, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Rand Paul of Kentucky.<\/p>\n

Four Republicans also helped get the measure through the House: Reps. Thomas Massie of Kentucky, Tom Barrett of Michigan, Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania and Warren Davidson of Ohio.<\/p>\n

Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania was the only Democrat in either chamber to vote in opposition.<\/p>\n

Democrats would not have had enough support to approve the measure in the Senate if there had been full attendance for the vote.<\/p>\n

They took advantage of Kentucky GOP Sen. Mitch McConnell\u2019s absence this week as he recovers from an unspecified medical issue to bring up the House-passed war powers resolution.<\/p>\n

Sen. Dave McCormick, Pennsylvania Republican, also missed the vote while traveling with the president to his home state for a factory visit and remarks on the economy.<\/p>\n
