Congress is set to grill Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Capitol Hill this week as lawmakers push to curb President Donald Trump's war powers in Iran, a move that could limit the administration's ability to take military action without Congressional approval. Republicans are joining Democrats in their bid to restrict Trump's authority in the region. The administration has been pushing for an emergency meeting of Congress to authorize military force against Iran, but it appears unlikely as lawmakers prepare to take a hardline stance on curbing war powers. Rubio is expected to face tough questions from lawmakers on Tuesday as part of a series of hearings aimed at examining Trump's Iran policy.
