The Senate on Wednesday rejected a measure that would have reined in President Trump’s power to continue using military force in Iran without the explicit authorization of Congress. The House is expected to hold a similar vote on Thursday.

Democrats have criticized President Trump’s decision to unilaterally launch attacks on Iran and questioned whether the U.S. faced an “imminent” threat from Iran — a legal requirement for the president to initiate military action without congressional approval.

The Senate rejected a similar measure last year after Mr. Trump ordered strikes on nuclear sites in Iran.
