Reps. Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie are pioneering a bipartisan resolution to restrict President Trump's military engagement in Iran without Congress's consent. Amid a fragile ceasefire between Israel and Iran, Khanna emphasizes the importance of keeping the war powers resolution privileged so it can be voted on without needing approval from the Republican leadership. The resolution is rooted in the Nixon-era War Powers Act, which requires presidential notification to Congress within 48 hours of military action, highlighting the ongoing debate over executive power in military conflicts.
We need to make sure that war powers resolution is still privileged, and they don't take away the privilege on it.
If the ceasefire holds and there's no further U.S. involvement, then no, but we have to wait and see.
