Constitution Disregarded, yet Again

  • On the night of June 21, 2025, President Donald Trump ordered airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan without congressional authorization.
  • The strikes came after Iran declined to engage in talks about its nuclear activities and sparked discussions about the extent of the president's authority to conduct military operations without congressional consent, as outlined in the War Powers Resolution of 1973.
  • Bipartisan concern emerged as some lawmakers called the strikes unconstitutional while others stressed the need to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.
  • An Economist/YouGov survey conducted shortly before the Trump administration's actions revealed that only a small portion of Americans—16%—were in favor of military intervention in Iran, while a majority of 60% opposed such involvement, and nearly a quarter remained uncertain.
  • The airstrikes heightened regional tensions, sparked protests, and renewed calls for Congress to uphold its constitutional war-making authority to limit unilateral executive actions.
