The War Powers Resolution is pretty clear here. It requires the president to terminate hostilities within 60 days absent congressional authorization. I think it's important that we in Congress actually assert our own role and responsibility to this. That 60-day clock expired April 28th, and then on the 1st, the administration sent letters to congressional leaders asserting that the hostilities have ended.

Well, in the first place, the number of things the Trump administration is doing on health care is astonishing. And, in fact, it's so much, nobody can cover it. And so across the board, they're doing things from helping have children at a young age to dealing with diabetes, to progress on Alzheimer's, to working on cost. It's really quite astonishing. And that part of it was terrific, Gingrich said, reacting to Trump launching moms.gov, a new maternal healthcare initiative aimed at supporting expecting mothers.

It was abundantly clear that if Iran came under attack by anyone - the United States or Israel or anyone - they were going to respond, and respond against the United States. We knew that there was going to be an Israeli action. We knew that that would precipitate an attack against American forces, and we knew that if we didn't pre-emptively go after them before they launched those attacks, we would suffer higher casualties.

Senate Republicans have voted down a bill that would have curtailed President Donald Trump's use of force against drug cartels after he authorised strikes on boats suspected of engaging in drug trafficking off the coast of Venezuela. The bill from Democratic Senators Adam Schiff of California and Tim Kaine of Virginia had called for the United States military to withdraw from hostilities that had not been authorized by Congress.

Massie stated on social media, "This is not our war. But if it were, Congress must decide such matters according to our Constitution. I'm introducing a bipartisan War Powers Resolution tomorrow to prohibit our involvement."
