A lot of people are talking about whether Trump is going to go to war with Iran but not enough people are talking about the fact that Trump has no legal authority to do so without Congressional authorization

that's sadly not the case. AUMFs have been invoked many times since WW2; the most recent was the 2002 AUMF which was utilised by Biden in actions against Yemen. In that case, Biden reported to Congress within 48hrs as dictated by the War Powers Act, but Biden is a boy scout.

A face saving way to solve a problem is the core of diplomacy.

I'll say one thing for Trump. He's forced millions of Americans to learn history, Constitution, government rules, procedures and laws. Most of all, crash Constitution courses.

Unfortunately, nearly every president since the end of WWII has engaged in military action without even bothering to seek congressional authorization. That horse left the barn a long time ago.

Trump will go to war. Because he is an egotistical bastard. We'll bundle him in a gold-encrusted plane and drop him on Tehran's doorstep

He doesn’t have any legal authority to impose tariffs either, nor to send people without due process to prison in El Salvador

Better do more than talk. Before Tehran is rubble.

I for one hope the current Prez flies over there personally and places himself right on the front line of whatever war is happening.

Too many people are willing to let Trump be king.

He's "not allowed" to impose tariffs, disappear people without due process, or extend the TikTok ban delay either.

He's going to justify it under the 2001 AUMF / GWoT just like Obama did when he expanded drone strikes and Biden did when he sent troops to Somalia.

if they’re not willing to stop him, he already has congressional authorization.

He'll do what Putin did & just call it a military action, or he'll use an AUMF. They'll find some way to drag the US into it. They're already beating those war drums to claim it's a benefit to Iran to attack them😡 Their theocracy is horrific but the Persian people should do the changes, not the US

Correct-and this should be how this story is framed on any and all media outlets. It’s not context, it’s a huge part of the story.
