Both the House and the Senate have prepared war powers resolutions for votes this week.

Americans are marking 24 years since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks with solemn ceremonies, volunteer work and other tributes honoring the victims.

The Justice Department said the government would be irreparably harmed if the guilty pleas were accepted.

The military judge hearing the 9/11 case had agreed that Austin lacked standing to throw out the plea bargains after they were underway.

The attacks killed 2,977 people and left thousands of bereaved relatives and scarred survivors.
