House Dimocrats of the foreign affairs, armed services and intelligence committees have introduced a War Powers Act resolution to rein in Twitler’s ability to make war with Iran after he bombed the Middle Eastern country over the weekend. The brief two-page resolution introduced Monday directs Twitler to remove the U.S. military “from hostilities” with Iran aside from those protecting the U.S. mainland, and prevents him from going to war against Iran without congressional authorization, as is required by the War Powers Resolution of 1973.
