"Here's Trump ending a 50-year war Trump is ending a 50-year war with the Iran terrorists and their proxies, and we have to be on the defensive and have War Power[s] Act votes and try to cut off? What's your take on that? Is it gonna happen?"
"The War Powers Act, which every president since it was passed in the '70s has ignored it, point number one, he said. But point number two, it still gives the commander-in-chief 60 days, plus 30 days to move away from it."
"The president has the ability to conduct combat operations, she continued. And he has done that. That is what we see in Iran. He is within his power to do that. Congress received notification."
Following Saturday's coordinated U.S. and Israeli bombing campaign against Iran that killed Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and other high-ranking officials, Fox Business host Larry Kudlow framed the strikes as concluding a 50-year conflict rather than starting a new war. The attacks resulted in civilian casualties, including at least 165 deaths at an Iranian girls' elementary school, and six U.S. soldier deaths. Democrats and some Republicans have called for congressional authorization through War Powers resolutions, citing the War Powers Act of 1973, which restricts presidential authority to commit armed forces. Kudlow dismissed these concerns, arguing the president possesses inherent combat authority and noting that all presidents since the 1970s have historically ignored the War Powers Act. Senator Marsha Blackburn attributed calls for authorization to "Democrat Trump derangement syndrome."
