41 Republicans vote against Iran amendment, effectively blocking bill - CNNPolitics
Senate Republicans tallied enough votes Friday morning to block a largely Democratic-backed amendment that would require President Donald Trump to get congressional approval before striking Iran militarily.
During an unusual Friday vote that commenced at 5 a.m. to meet various scheduling demands of the senators, Republicans hit the 41-vote mark, which means the Iran measure can't get the 60 votes it would need to advance.
Sen. Joni Ernst, a Republican from Iowa, cast the 41st vote.
