What the War Powers Resolution Actually Says About Trump's Iran War || 1776
from Good Morning Liberty
Trump called the House Iran War Powers vote "meaningless." But the Constitution does not have a Trump exception. The House passed a War Powers Resolution aimed at forcing President Trump to withdraw U.S. forces from the Iran conflict or get congressional approval. Nate and Chuck break down what the War Powers Resolution actually says, why the "60 days" argument is not a blank check, and why party loyalty is not a substitute for constitutional limits. This Good Morning Liberty discussion covers Trump, Iran, Congress, Thomas Massie, Ron Paul's warning on war, and the Republican fight over whether presidents can start wars without Congress.
