After 60 days of war in Iran, does US Congress want a say? | US-Israel war on Iran News

The 60-day mark of the US and Israel's war with Iran approaches, prompting questions about Congressional involvement. While the War Powers Act requires presidents to cease military action after 60 days or receive congressional authorization, experts say Congress has historically avoided taking a stance on such matters. Donald Trump officially notified Congress of the attacks on February 28th and faces pressure from both Republicans and Democrats regarding future actions. Some Republicans have expressed concerns about the war's political ramifications, but many are hesitant to publicly oppose the administration, fearing backlash from donors and Trump himself. The potential for Congressional inaction remains a significant concern as experts argue that it could mark a "leap" in interpreting the War Powers Act.
