Скачать или смотреть Debate ensues among lawmakers over War Powers and Trump's presidential authority

Congress is preparing for a high-stakes showdown this week over President Trump's military actions in Iran. Both the House and Senate are scheduled to vote on War Powers resolutions, which seek to halt further military action in Iran without Congressional approval.
Donald Trump chose intentionally not to come before Congress, which is why we're going to force this vote on a war powers resolution and make sure that we do everything we can to constrain him at this point in time," said House Minority Leader Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY). "I think the president is acting to keep America safe and to make America safer. Iran for 47 years has been the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism," added Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX).
Secretary of State Marco Rubio told the press Monday, the administration was in compliance with the law, briefing Congressional leaders, known as the 'Gang of Eight,' before the operation. Adding, the strikes were a proactive defense measure to address an imminent threat.
