The courts should simply hold that the War Powers Resolution requires the president to end our involvement in the war with Iran unless and until Congress authorizes it. This shouldn’t be — and isn’t — different than any other injunction on any administration to comply www.nytimes.com/2026/04/27/o...
The 60 day window that PsychoPrez has been operating under closes this week. War has to be declared by Congress or they authorize a 60 day extension. In either case, the GOP owns this. If they don't act - this will wind up in the courts - last whistle stop - SCOTUS. This will get ugly.

Outstanding and important op-ed by distinguished law professor Edward Chemerinsky who points out what should be obvious: Trump's war with Iran is not only moronic and counterproductive -- the Iran War is clearly UNCONSTITUTIONAL. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/27/o...
www.nytimes.com/2026/04/27/o... War Powers Act gives Congress a voice on war. The 60-day deadline hits May 1. Trump started this war without authorization, has asked for none. Senate Republicans have blocked 5 attempts at oversight. When does Congress take its job back?
It’s worse than this: it’s Bibi’s war, he just rented the American military free of charge.
