In a rebuke to President Trump, the Senate voted on Wednesday to end U.S. support for the Saudi-led coalition fighting in Yemen.
Seven Republicans joined the Democrats to vote for the resolution, which now heads to the House, where a similar measure was passed earlier this year. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) worked together on the legislation, and on the Senate floor Wednesday, Sanders called U.S. involvement "clearly unconstitutional."
