Trump Administration's War Powers Resolution Loophole
Description
The Trump administration asserts the Iran war is over due to a ceasefire, bypassing Congresss approval for ongoing military actions. The War Powers Resolution of 1973 requires presidential approval after sixty days of action, but officials argue hostilities ended in February, with no shots fired since April seventh. Democrats and some Republicans disagree, stating the deadline was Friday and a clear plan and goals are needed for any further action. The Defense Secretary claims the ceasefire pauses the sixty-day clock, while experts call this a stretch on the laws rules. Tensions remain high as Congress debates whether to force a vote or let the situation continue.
