Congress splits over war powers resolutions to curb Iran war authority

Reported · Written up by our desk · Trade & Tariffs

CNBC Markets reports that lawmakers in the US Congress are split over proposed war powers resolutions aimed at limiting President Donald Trump’s ability to wage war with Iran.

According to CNBC World, the resolutions are intended to force a change in how the administration can carry out actions related to an Iran conflict, but Trump would be nearly certain to veto such measures.

Both outlets note the central issue is whether Congress can use war powers legislation to curb the president’s operational authority, setting up a direct clash between legislative intent and expected executive veto power.
