Congress faulted for symbolic push against Trump's Iran war
Original: Congress doesn’t want to stop Trump’s Iran war. It wants to pretend it tried
Commentary out of Washington argues that Congress has no real intention of halting President Trump's military confrontation with Iran, and that legislators' moves to constrain him are largely performative — an effort to appear to have tried stopping the conflict without actually doing so. The piece reflects ongoing debate over whether lawmakers will exercise their authority over war powers as tensions with Iran continue.
Why now: Debate over Congress's war powers and Trump's Iran policy is active in US politics right now.
