Conover Kennard reveals House Speaker Mike Johnson's dismissal of the bipartisan war powers resolution as unnecessary. He argues that the President shouldn't need to consult Congress for every action, citing the urgency of Article 2 powers. This stance contrasts with former President Trump's public criticisms of Congress, showcasing a divide in military decision oversight.

On June 23, the White House sent to #Congress a notification under the #WarPowers Resolution of 1973 articulating both domestic & international legal arguments justifying the attack on #Iran. These justifications are unconvincing, raise profound concerns as to whether the #ExecutiveBranch has adopted expansive new legal theories justifying the use of force, & now should provide additional impetus for Congress to push back against this unauthorized attack on Iran.

Carrying #Trump’s water, #House Speaker #MikeJohnson says it is not an “appropriate time”for #Congress to consider a #WarPowers resolution.
Johnson's comments come as some members of Congress are pushing for a review of Trump's actions in ordering the bombing of #Iran.
With #Republican *leaders* in the #Senate & House strongly backing the US attacks, it seems unlikely any resolution that asserts the #power of Congress to declare #war & restricts Trump's actions could pass both chambers.
We are at #WAR - #Iran #Launches #Missiles Toward #US #Base in #Qatar #war #middleeast #trump #lies #democracy #warpowers https://apnews.com/live/iran-israel-war-updates-6-23-2025 --- Al Udeid Air Base is largest US base in the Middle East, serves as the forward headquarters for #CENTCOM w approximately 10,000 #troops. #Iran also launched missiles towards US bases in #Iraq. 6 #missiles were launched towards #Al Udeid Air Base and one towards US troops in Iraq. https://www.jpost.com/middle-east/article-858726 #Qatar reserves right 2 respond #geopolitics
AP NewsCeasefire status is unclear after Israel reports continued missiles from IranU.S. President Donald Trump said on social media Monday that Israel and Iran have agreed to a “complete and total ceasefire” to be phased in over 24 hours.
"The President does not have the right!" — An emotional Bernie Sanders slams Trump’s Iran strikes as “grossly unconstitutional.”
The crowd erupts into loud chants in support.

Rick Wilson's perceptive analysis, live, right after the news...
The Constitution says Congress declares war.
But another president just bombed Iran—without a vote, without debate, without your voice.
How is this still legal?
Spoiler: It shouldn’t be.
#Trump faces #bipartisan blowback in #Congress on #Iran strikes Why it matters: While most #congressional #Republicans some pro-Israel #Democrats are praising President Trump's strikes on #Iranian #nuclear facilities, pockets of #opposition are already emerging over whether he needed congressional #authorization for such a #provocative use of #military #force. Yes, he did need Congressional #authorization..why is there even a question. #warpowers #foreign #policy #retaliation #democracy #war
THE PRESIDENT DOES NOT GET TO “DECIDE” WHETHER THE UNITED STATES GOES TO WAR.
THE CONSTITUTION CLEARLY GIVES THAT AUTHORITY TO CONGRESS AND ONLY CONGRESS.
War powers resolution no longer just to weaponise immigration, but to accelerate racist genocides in North Africa, U.S. and any political opponents? Happy ending for oligarchs blitzkrieg! #Nope #NuclearTerrorists #WarPowers
Lawmakers push back as Trump signals possible U.S. military action in the Israel-Iran conflict 
Reps. Massie & Khanna lead a bipartisan resolution demanding Congress approve any war moves. Will Congress reclaim its war powers?
