Last week, the Senate voted for the seventh time to block an Iran War Powers resolution.  This one was defeated by a vote of 49-50, but it got more Republican support than prior measures:  Sens. Murkowski (R-AK), Collins (R-ME), and Paul (R-KY) voted for it.  Sen. Fetterman (D-PA) was the only Democrat to vote against it.  

  House Republicans also narrowly defeated a similar War Powers resolution introduced by Rep. Gottheimer (D-NJ), by a vote of 212-212.  Three Republicans voted for that measure:  Reps. Barrett (R-MI), Fitzpatrick (R-PA), and Massie (R-KY).
