Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Rylan Barton.

The Republican-led Senate has once again blocked a measure to limit President Trump's war powers in Iran.

NPR's Claudia Grisales reports Democrats have forced the vote six times since the conflict began 60 days ago tomorrow.

Co-sponsor California Democratic Senator Adam Schiff notes current law dictates

the conflict must end at the 60-day mark. The president must terminate this use of force

until Congress says otherwise. Two Republicans, Kentucky's Rand Paul and Maine Susan Collins,

voted with Democrats. Under the current War Powers Act, Trump can invoke a 30-day

extension to wind down operations. Several Republicans have pointed to that provision as a potential

way to buy time in the midst of ceasefire negotiations to end the conflict. Some are also warning

once the war crosses that 60-day mark. they will no longer support funding the operation until the administration defends the plans.

The shutdown lasted for 75 days as Democrats

refused to fund Trump's immigration enforcement operations without changes. Republican House

Speaker Mike Johnson celebrated the passage of the bill. We were not going to have lines at TSA.

Everybody will get their paychecks now. We'll get moving forward. And then we will finish the work

and finally get, again, for three years with no

crazy Democrat reforms, we will fund Border Patrol and immigration enforcement as soon as we

return for the work session when that bill is final.

Republicans will later move to provide $70 billion for immigration enforcement through a separate

process on their own that won't require Democratic support.
