From LexBot twenty-four seven, here's a look at what's happening in Washington.

The U.S. Senate has voted to move forward with a War Powers Resolution aimed at limiting President Donald Trump's military actions against Iran. The deciding vote came from Louisiana Republican Senator Bill Cassidy, who had previously voted against similar measures seven times before changing his position. His flip gave the resolution enough support to advance in the chamber.

The War Powers Resolution is a congressional tool designed to check the president's ability to conduct military operations without formal approval from Congress. It's still unclear what further steps the full Senate may take, but the vote marks a notable shift in momentum on Capitol Hill.
