This article warns that President Trump may be overstepping his legal authority by continuing military action against Iran without Congress's approval, pointing to a 60-day deadline under the War Powers Resolution that is about to expire. It uses statements from legal experts and administration officials to raise concerns about presidential power, while not explaining the original reasons for the conflict, which makes the war seem less justified. The article nudges readers to see congressional action as necessary to check executive overreach, especially given Republican hesitation to challenge the president.
