Breaking the Rules

Trump’s decision to attack Iran is a drastic escalation of a decades-old trend. For years, presidents have been sidestepping Congress to launch limited military strikes. It’s a move that won’t go unchecked, and it’s about time someone called them out on it.

A History of Skirting the Law

Presidents have been getting away with this for decades. They claim they don’t need Congressional approval for ‘limited’ strikes. But what’s limited about launching missiles at another country? It’s a ridiculous loophole, and Trump just blew it wide open.

Don’t expect Congress to take this lying down. They’re already up in arms, and for once, it’s not just partisan bickering. It’s about time someone stood up to the president’s blatant disregard for the law.
