“As President Trump weighs whether to attack Iran, the truth is, no one knows what he will do — and that uncertainty is exactly the point. But amid the chaos, one familiar question looms: What about Congress? The pattern is now well-worn. A president — Democrat or Republican — considers the use of force. A bipartisan group of lawmakers demands a vote. The White House sidesteps congressional approval. And a handful of Members introduce War Powers Resolutions that go nowhere. … The era of meaningful congressional authorizations of force may be behind us. And the war powers debate, for now, will remain one fought on procedural margins, not through constitutional muscle.” (06/18/25)
