Fireworks at The Capitol for President Trump

The tension erupted on the Senate floor this week, where lawmakers fiercely debated a Democratic resolution aimed at curbing President Trump’s ongoing use of military force in the Caribbean. The proposal, led by Senators Adam Schiff of California and Tim Kaine of Virginia,
invoked the War Powers Act to halt the strikes until Congress explicitly authorizes them.

After hours of deliberation, the motion failed by a narrow 48–51 margin — a vote that starkly exposed the growing fracture between the legislative and executive branches over who truly controls America’s military machinery.
