Congress Is AWOL in America's Iran War

April 28, 2026·54 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

The War Powers Resolution allows the president up to 60 days of defensive latitude in introducing U.S. forces into hostilities; it is not a blank check for open-ended war. Cato's Molly Nixon and Katherine Thompson examine what the law actually says, how Trump's strikes on Iran test its limits, and whether the looming 60-day deadline could force Congress to act. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
