Trump hints he will not seek Congress's approval for ongoing military actions against Iran
U.S. President Trump on May 1st local time stated that the War Powers Act, which restricts the president from using military force without congressional authorization, is “completely unconstitutional,” implying he will not seek congressional approval for ongoing military actions against Iran. Trump said the law “has never been truly used” and questioned why the current administration needs to comply with it. Trump also stated that the government “has always maintained communication with Congress,” but previous administrations “have never truly sought the relevant authorization.” According to the War Powers Act passed in 1973, after the president first notifies Congress of the use of military force, he must decide within 60 days to cease the military operation or seek congressional authorization to continue fighting. Some lawmakers believe that this deadline expired on May 1st. Previously, U.S. Secretary of Defense Hegseth stated that the open-ended ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran means the war is in a “pause” state, and therefore the 60-day deadline has not yet been reached.
