Rand Paul loses Senate vote on pulling U.S. troops from Niger
Paul’s measure would have directed President Joe Biden to remove all U.S. troops from the West African nation within 30 days, invoking Congress’ war powers under the U.S. Constitution. It said the U.S. had more than 1,000 troops in Niger as of June, the second-largest U.S. military presence on the continent, with no explicit congressional authorization for them to be there.
