Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer announced Wednesday that the Senate will vote next week on a war powers resolution aimed at limiting President Trump's military authority regarding operations in Iran.

The Democratic leader made sharp criticisms of Trump's handling of the Iran situation, calling him "a military moron" and stating that Americans are "worse off" than when the conflict began. Schumer argued that Congress must exercise its constitutional oversight role in matters of war and military engagement.

The timing of the resolution comes as the Trump administration has been highlighting progress on ceasefire negotiations with Tehran and expressing interest in developing a longer-term peace agreement with Iran.

War powers resolutions are legislative tools that Congress can use to assert its constitutional authority over military operations and limit presidential war-making powers. Such measures have been used by lawmakers from both parties when seeking to constrain executive military actions they view as overreaching.

The resolution will require a majority vote in the Senate to pass. The specific language and provisions of the measure have not yet been detailed, though it is expected to focus on restricting military operations against Iran without congressional authorization.
