WI the US Senate voted against authorizing military forced to be used in the Gulf following the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait?
I mean, suppose the Senate does say no. Bush continues to send troops into Iraq..Wikipedia said:President George H. W. Bush requested a Congressional joint resolution on January 8, 1991, one week before the January 15, 1991 deadline issued to Iraq specified by the November 29, 1990 United Nations United Nations Security Council Resolution 678. President Bush had deployed over 500,000 U.S. troops without Congressional authorization to Saudi Arabia and the Persian Gulf region in the preceding five months in response to Iraq's August 2, 1990 invasion of Kuwait. President Bush said that as Commander-in-chief he did not need Congressional authorization to use military force against Iraq and that his request for a Congressional joint resolution was merely a courtesy to Congress.

Are you referring to the War Powers Act?Was the Senate ever even involved OTL?

Bad time for a constitutional crisis.
Still, we might have been spared some of the Clinton toy soldier operations.
