This move underscores a growing recognition among American lawmakers of the dangers posed by unchecked executive power and the potential for reckless confrontation.<\/p>\n<p>The Senate advanced a resolution demanding congressional approval before any US forces can engage in hostilities with Iran, a clear challenge to Trump&#8217;s often bellicose rhetoric and actions.
