Trump Refuses War Powers Deadline Because Iran War Is “Terminated”
President Trump claims the war on Iran is over to avoid accountability under the War Powers Resolution, despite ongoing tensions and a fragile ceasefire. Trump's 60-day deadline to end the conflict expires on Friday, prompting Congressional scrutiny.
President Trump is claiming the war on Iran is over to avoid accountability. The War Powers Resolution requires a president to alert Congress within 48 hours of hostilities and end the conflict within 60 days. Trump's 60-day deadline expires on Friday. GOP Senator Susan Collins stated that the deadline is a requirement, and further military action must have a clear mission and strategy. Trump insists the war ended with the early April ceasefire announcement, despite Iran blocking the Strait of Hormuz and the US blocking Iranian ships. Trump called Congressional attempts to rein in his powers 'unconstitutional'.
