Summary
A Senate vote to curb President Donald Trump's war powers on Iran has sharpened scrutiny over whether he is losing support among congressional Republicans.
Doug Heye, speaking to NPR, framed the key political question as how much Republican backing Trump still retains after senators moved to limit his authority.
The discussion centers on party support inside Congress rather than a new White House action, with the Iran vote serving as the immediate test of Republican alignment.
The episode points to broader tension between Trump and some GOP lawmakers over presidential war powers and Iran policy.
