Clinton ignored the War Powers Resolution during the 1999 NATO bombing campaign. He ignored the Resolution’s 60-day limit without formal congressional authorisation and ignored the fact congress voted against the declaration of war. The subsequent Campbell v. Clinton case had the federal appeals court ultimately dismiss the lawsuit, ruling that members of Congress lacked the legal standing to sue the President over his war-making actions, neutering the War Powers Resolution.
I think there’s a good chance that he wants an off-ramp and will make a huge show of respecting the will of the legislature in the process of backing out of the war.
oh, I was just contemplating a different possibility of how things might unfold. I don’t have so much of an investment in which is which, whatever happens with this particular issue. I’m not American or Iranian.
I do agree it will somehow turn out in his favour. I would prefer that he just fucks off instead.

trump will veto it anyway
idk.
