Congress vs. Trump: War Powers Debate Intensifies

Congress challenges President Trumps military powers in U.S.-Israeli conflict with Iran, echoing earlier debates on Venezuela operations. The Constitution grants Congress war-declaring authority, but Trump refuses limits. Experts note Congress hasnt formally declared war since WWII, yet U.S. forces have seen action in various conflicts. Military historians argue the balance has shifted towards presidents, leading to prolonged conflicts. The shift began with the Korean War and has continued through various presidencies. As the House votes on the issue, the question remains whether Congress can reclaim its constitutional role or if executive dominance in military matters will persist.
