Supreme Court May Upend Congress Power Over Trump's Iran War: Republicans

Several Republicans defending President Donald Trump’s military actions in Iran say the president has broad constitutional authority to conduct overseas operations and argue a growing fight over the War Powers Resolution could ultimately land before the Supreme Court.

The comments come after House Republicans last week pulled a vote on a resolution aimed at limiting Trump’s war powers in Iran after GOP leaders appeared to lack enough support to defeat the Democratic-led measure, delaying consideration until next month.

"Every administration has held that parts of the War Powers Resolution are unconstitutional since the law’s enactment in 1973," White House spokesperson Anna Kelly told Newsweek on Thursday.

The statement continued, "President Trump will continue to protect our national security using his constitutional authority as Commander-in-Chief while being transparent with Congress."
