"Today is May 1. Under the War Powers Resolution of 1973, President Trump’s authority to continue military operations in Iran without congressional authorization expires today. As of 0600 EST this morning, the administration has filed nothing — no authorization request, no 30-day extension certification, no supplemental appropriations."

"The deadline has arrived and the executive branch’s answer is silence. ... Today is the day. The administration has no legal authority to continue this war under the statute as written. It plans to continue anyway." #Trump #Republicans #Iran #war #WarPowers #Congress /2

@wdlindsy i bet he had to just stop the war for 5 minutes and start new one and have a new 30 period.

@wdlindsy I heard trump sent letters to Congress saying that because of the ceasefire the war was not ongoing so he needed no authorization. Typical of trump's "logic" and the sophistry of his regime.
