This Week: Iran War Powers, DHS Funding Top Congressional Agenda
Congress prepares to vote on a War Powers resolution as President Trump orders strikes on Iran without authorization, raising constitutional and regional conflict concerns.
- On Feb. 28, the U.S. and Israel began Operation Epic Fury, a military offensive that killed Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and more than 500 others without congressional approval.
- The 1973 War Powers Resolution requires the president to notify Congress within 8 hours and limits military action beyond 60 days without authorization, prompting congressional debate.
- In Times Square on Saturday, demonstrators carried signs reading `Defend Iran & Palestine` and `Stop U.S.-Israel Rampage`, with some demanding Congress intervene and others saying the strikes could pressure Iran's leadership.
- The House and Senate could vote as early as March 4, but a majority of Republicans oppose the measure and President Donald Trump could veto it, requiring a two-thirds majority in both chambers to override.
- Disruption near the Strait of Hormuz could ripple through energy markets because roughly 20% of global petroleum liquids pass through the corridor, while Republican majorities and recent $175 billion in Pentagon funding hinder Congress's ability to curb war efforts.
