My guess is that Trump doesn’t have Congressional support for an AUMF, which means that all Iran has to do is last for 60 days before Trump has to pull out.
So basically, if Trump wants some kind of deal that uses the military as leverage, he has to get it closed in a matter of weeks.
But what if he just ignores the 60 day limit, and then we all wait till two years later for a court to finally decide that wasn’t legal and he should stop?
