"If the War Powers Resolution were totally void, Trump’s war in Iran would be illegal. (It already is, according to international law.)" #Trump #Republicans #Iran #war #WarPowers #Congress /6

"The irony is that the War Powers Resolution is the only reason Trump’s reckless military campaign in Iran could even be considered constitutional in the first place. According to Article I, Section 8, Clause 11 of the United States Constitution, Congress has sole power to declare war. The 60-day window is an exception to that rule." #Trump #Republicans #Iran #war #WarPowers #Congress /5
