This is serious constitutional analysis — and largely correct. But let’s be honest: the War Powers debate is now cable-news theater. The reporting window will be met. Congress can fund or defund. The precedent is settled across administrations. The Left’s TV scholars will milk this for days because it’s the only legal hook they have left. The deeper legal question isn’t Article I versus Article II. It’s whether 93 million Iranians now have a real opportunity to dismantle an authoritarian system that jailed dissidents, crushed women, and institutionalized terror. Regime change imposed is one debate. Rule of law restored by a people is another entirely.
With a partial shutdown of DHS, the hit on Iranian leadership who funds terrorism against America, and calls us the “Great Satan,” is definitely timely, and appropriate. Trump is defending Americans from the mullahs who live by the slogan “Death to America.” Thank you President Trump for exercising your legal right to protect us and our Allies.
doesn't the fact we do not have an embassy in Iran mean we were in a state of war in Iran or the last 47 years? How did today's attack change our "relationship" with Iran?
imho, you do our republic a great service by elucidating the mechanics of exactly how our constitution works and why it is brilliant and new and must be preserved. Bravo sir, and much respect.
Thankyou Mr. Muse. An excellent case study. Your review of this subject makes it perfectly clear that Federal rules, regulations, and procedures are applicable to every President except (sigh) Donald Trump.
Along with Rand Paul he touts the constitution but never demands corrections for unconstitutional law as in the War Powers Act. Just think on every conflict he wants Congress to debate every decision. Congress and the Senate are broken. Our founding fathers never imagined them taking weeks even months to declare a war. That’s why we have a commander in chief.
Well said.

We have effectively been, yes.
We did not vote for this war.

This exceptional article gives us all an understanding that we don't get from the lunatics.
Of course Massie is front and center with his unconstitutional crying and whining declaration. KY needs to replace this blowhard.
I would sooner see George Clooney for a broken leg, than ask Massie for a lecture on classical libertarian philosophy.

Duct tape across his mouth would be appropriate for that raving grandstander.
