The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia condemned the Senate vote last week to pass a bi-partisan resolution calling for an end to US military support to the Saudi-led coalition in the destructive Yemen war.
Although Thursday's resolution is not likely to pass the House, it's the first time in 45 years that the Senate has voted to withdraw forces from a war Congress didn't approve.
The Senate also agreed by unanimous consent to another resolution to condemn Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman holding him responsible for the murder of Saudi Journalist Jamal Khashoggi in Saudi Consulate in Turkey.
