The Senate on Thursday failed to override President Trump’s veto of legislation ending U.S. support for the Saudi-led war in Yemen.
Senators voted 53-45 on the attempt to override Trump’s veto, falling short of the 67 votes needed to be successful.
The resolution, which initially passed the Senate in March, requires Trump to withdraw any troops in or affecting Yemen within 30 days unless they are fighting al Qaeda.
Trump vetoed the measure in April — marking the second veto of his administration and his second veto in roughly a month.
The Congressional vote to stop America from resisting Iran in Yemen was a travesty.
But the Democrats in Congress will continue to carry water for mullah-run Iran:
Congressional Democrats are looking to the power of the purse to end US participation in the war in Yemen after President Donald Trump successfully blocked their efforts to make it illegal.
So unless the new line of attack works, Iran will continue to slowly lose their effort to outflank and distract Saudi Arabia and to gain an outpost on the Red Sea shipping lanes.
