The Senate voted 49-50 against a motion to discharge Sen. Jeff Merkley's Iran war powers resolution from committee, the seventh such failure since hostilities began on Feb. 28, according to CBS News. Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, who had opposed previous iterations, crossed over to join Rand Paul and Susan Collins on this vote; said Murkowski: "We're in a different place than we were last time we voted on this," citing the administration's failure to provide expected clarity after the 60-day War Powers Resolution threshold passed.
