Senators will try to withdraw US from Yemen’s war

SANAA, March.1 (YPA) – U.S. lawmakers unveiled plans on Wednesday to use an old law to obtain a Senate vote on whether to pull the country out of the aggression war on Yemen.

Senators would make the first attempt to take advantage of a provision in the 1973 war powers act that allows any senator to introduce a resolution on whether to withdraw US armed forces from a conflict not authorized by Congress, republican Senator Mike Lee, independent Bernie Sanders and Democrat Chris Murphy said.

The move by the three lawmakers is the latest in the ongoing battle between the Congress and the White House to control military conflicts.
