Our current war with Iran started on February 28. Sixty days from that date is April 25. The 1973 War Powers Resolution is the law of the land. It mandates that any US lethal armed conflict not authorized by Congress must cease within 60 days of its inception.
Representative Miller-Meeks and Senators Ernst and Grassley have repeatedly voted against efforts to stop this ill-conceived, illegal, ill-fated war. It will now be their duty on April 25 to remind the president that war on Iran must stop. Their failure to do so on April 26 will be an abject confession that the laws that Congress has made don’t matter.
