The resolution, which was introduced by the opposition Democratic Party and passed with the support of five Republicans, could finally be adopted next week. However, it is mostly seen as symbolic, as it is expected to face strong opposition in the House of Representatives, and Donald Trump has the ability to veto it.
Senator Rand Paul, who was one of the five Republicans, says that "no provision in the Constitution gives the president such power to bomb another country's capital and depose its leader."
Trump writes on his Truth Social platform that Republicans "should be ashamed" of the five who voted with the Democrats, and that the vote "greatly weakens America's self-defense and national security and hampers the President's authority as commander in chief."
