Trump’s time is running out.

Without congressional approval, Trump chose to attack Iran on February 28. This means Trump has 60 days to complete his unauthorized military action in Iran as defined in the U.S. War Powers Resolution of 1973.

February 28 plus 60 days sets the deadline to April 29.

This means, Trump has 24 days left. Obviously, a criminal president will not pay attention to this, but since the war is so unpopular, Congress could use the deadline to force an end to the Iran mess.

@randahl Or what?

Whatever the law may say, Congress has to enforce it, and they won’t.

@michaelgemar I think you are forgetting that a majority of Congress is against the war.

He will just misappropriate funds from the current defense budget. They have no lever.

@randahl The majority of Congress are also submissive toadies of Trump. I haven’t seen any real public pushback by individual GOP reps, much less any organized Congressional opposition.
