"Trump’s second Iran war becomes Illegal May 1. Contrary to claims by the New York Times, U.S. law doesn’t grant Trump authority to 'give himself an extension' on a war already illegal under international law. His Iran war becomes illegal on May 1." ~ Seth Abramson #Trump #Republicans #Iran #war #WarPowers #Congress /3 https://sethabramson.substack.com/p/trumps-second-iran-war-becomes-illegal

"President Donald Trump claimed Friday it’s unconstitutional to seek congressional approval for war. Speaking to the press outside the White House, Trump whined that he should not have to comply with the War Powers Resolution of 1973, which requires the president to withdraw his forces from a conflict after 60 days unless Congress declares war or approves an extension." ~ Edith Olmsted #Trump #Republicans #Iran #war #WarPowers #Congress /4 https://newrepublic.com/post/209862/donald-trump-claims-unconstitutional-congress-iran

@wdlindsy His war was illegal from day 1 because there was no direct threat to the US "justifying" some preemptive aggression anyway. The rogue president from a rogue government.
