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.

Trump pulling out US forces will not magically reopen Hormuz, stop Iran from developing nuclear weapons, keep Israel from bombing or bring peace to the other Gulf states.

Perhaps Congress can force an end to US involvement, but they cannot "force an end to the Iran mess". That can of worms is already all over the floor.
