Rep. Ro Khanna Asserts President Trump Unlikely to Obtain Congressional Approval for Iran Military Action
Rep. Ro Khanna, a Democrat from California, expressed skepticism about President Trump's ability to secure congressional authorization for continued military operations in Iran. This statement comes as a key War Powers deadline approaches, which will determine the legality of ongoing military actions. Khanna's comments were made during an interview on Meet the Press, where he highlighted the challenges President Trump faces in gaining the necessary congressional support. The War Powers Resolution requires the President to obtain congressional approval for military actions lasting more than 60 days, unless Congress has declared war or granted an extension. The upcoming deadline is critical as it will dictate whether the current military operations can legally continue without explicit congressional consent.
