House Speaker Rejects War Powers Act, Defends Trump's Iran Strikes
Tap title to read story
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) declared the War Powers Act unconstitutional, opposing a resolution to limit US military action in Iran. He argues President Trump's recent strikes on Iranian targets were within his constitutional authority as commander-in-chief. While a resolution to block further action was introduced, its sponsor, Rep. Massie, indicated it may be withdrawn due to a ceasefire. Johnson believes the resolution is inappropriate and won't pass the House.
