Today's Poll Question: Does limiting Trump's Iran war powers help America, or Tehran?

from The Smerconish Podcast · host Michael Smerconish

Today's Poll Question at Smerconish.com: Does Congress limiting Trump's Iran war powers benefit the US or Iran? Michael Smerconish examines the House vote to limit President Trump’s authority to continue military hostilities against Iran without explicit congressional approval. With four Republicans joining Democrats, the debate revives longstanding questions about the War Powers Act, presidential authority, and Congress’s constitutional role in matters of war. Smerconish argues that while concerns about the administration’s rationale for entering the conflict remain valid, the timing of the vote may send an unintended signal to Tehran. As the fragile ceasefire holds, costs mount, and political pressure grows at home, is Congress protecting constitutional balance—or giving Iran exactly what it wants: more time?
