In the US Congress, the process of calling congressmen to Washington and organizing a vote has begun with the aim of limiting Donald Trump's powers to conduct military operations against Iran.
Modern.az reports that many Democrats consider these attack preparations illegal and unconstitutional.
Democrats believe that Donald Trump is exaggerating the risks related to Iran and the American people do not want a new “endless war”. Members of Congress are calling for an immediate gathering to stop the process.
According to the US Constitution, the power to declare war belongs directly to Congress, not the president.
The 1973 War Powers Resolution, while giving the president the authority to initiate military operations in certain circumstances, requires notification to Congress for this.
If no notification is given or approval is not obtained, military forces must be withdrawn within 60 days.
In cases where the US is directly attacked, the president's executive powers remain in effect. However, opponents state that no concrete evidence of a threat against the US in the Iran issue has been presented. (TRT Haber)
