REPORTER: Why not notify Congress about this? SECRETARY RUBIO: We did. We notified congressional leadership. We briefed the Gang of Eight twice. We have complied with the law 100%. 🔥🔥

.@SecRubio: “Congress can vote on whatever it wants, but there’s no law requiring” authorization from it.

Trump: "See that nice drape? When that comes down right now you see a very very deep hole, but in about a year and half you're gonna see a very very beautiful building. And there's your entrance to it right there. In fact, it looks so nice I think I'll leave it and save money on the doors. I picked those drapes. I always liked gold. I believe it will be the most beautiful ballroom anywhere in the world."




Since many of my Democrat colleagues don’t seem to understand the War Powers Act, it’s very simple: The President must notify Congress within 48 hours of deploying troops or commencing an attack. The President must then withdraw troops within 60-90 days, unless Congress declares war. In this instance, Congress was notified in advance and briefed before the strike on Iran. A full classified briefing will be forthcoming. Now, Congress can pass a concurrent resolution ordering the troops be withdrawn at anytime, which is what Massie and Khanna are trying to do. But under Article II and as Commander in Chief, the President has the authority to act. The notion that this strike is illegal or that the President needed Congress’ authority is wrong. Furthermore, Biden and Obama conducted numerous strikes in numerous countries without Congress and none of the people screaming now, seemed to have any objections. For historical context, Congress has not declared war since WWII.




Trump on the campaign trail: "We are finally putting America First. Our policy of war regime change and nation-building is being replaced by the pursuit of American interests… It is the job of our military to protect our security, not to be the policemen of the world."
