Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) blocked a Senate vote on a resolution that passed the House last week for the second time.
Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) tried to trigger a vote on the resolution, which puts Congress on record as opposing President Donald Trump’s decision to withdraw troops from Syria, on Tuesday.
