GOP Sen. Young: Trump should work with Congress on any future Iran strikes
Sen. Todd Young (R-Indiana) stated that the Trump administration should seek congressional approval before renewing military action against Iran. President Trump notified Congress of the military operation on March 2, putting the conflict's length at 60 days as of Friday.
Sen. Todd Young (R-Indiana) said the Trump administration needs congressional approval before renewing military action against Iran. The War Powers Act requires the president to notify Congress within 48 hours of military action and prohibits armed forces from remaining for longer than 60 days without a vote. President Trump notified Congress on March 2, and the 60-day deadline was reached. A senior Trump administration official argued the campaign was effectively terminated when Trump announced a temporary truce with Tehran on April 7. Young expects the administration to work with lawmakers on a military force authorization if fighting resumes.
