Trump clashes with Senate Republicans in closed-door meeting over Iran war powers vote.
President Donald Trump berated Senate Republicans during a June 24, 2026 luncheon over their support for a war powers resolution aimed at limiting his military authority in Iran. The meeting featured a shouting match with Senator Bill Cassidy, who defended his vote by criticizing the administration's lack of transparency about the four-month-old conflict. Trump also canceled a planned signing ceremony for a bipartisan housing bill, tying its passage to his voter ID legislation.
