Trump must be held to account for Iran, but don’t expect Congress to act
The US involvement in the Iran conflict has escalated into a war, with significant costs and casualties. The Constitution grants Congress the power to authorize or declare war, but they have failed to act. The war is expected to continue, with potentially catastrophic consequences, as Congress adjourns in August.
- ▪The US has been drawn into an unwinnable quagmire in Iran, with 624 wounded service personnel and 18 killed in action.
- ▪The War Powers Resolution, which requires the president to inform Congress within 48 hours of ordering military action, has been ignored by the administration.
- ▪Congress has failed to pass a resolution to end the war, and the administration has requested an additional $67 billion to fund the conflict.
