Congress Isn’t Happy

Donald Trump’s decision to order a strike on Iran without getting Congress’s okay has lawmakers up in arms. It’s not like they didn’t see this coming – both the House and Senate had already drafted war powers resolutions, just in case the president decided to go rogue.

The Backstory

Republicans have a slim majority in both the House and Senate, but that doesn’t mean they’re willing to let Trump do whatever he wants. They’re demanding a swift vote on the war powers resolution, and it’s hard to blame them. I mean, who doesn’t love a good Constitutional crisis?

It’s worth noting that this whole situation is pretty ridiculous. Trump’s actions have sparked a heated debate about the limits of presidential power, and Congress is determined to make its voice heard. It’s about time someone did.
