📝 🇺🇸 🇮🇷 President Donald Trump's notification that the U.S. is again at war with Iran gives the administration another 60-day clock for military action.

President Donald Trump formally notified lawmakers this weekend that the nation is once again at war with Iran, giving his administration another 60-day clock to use the military in the region without congressional approval.

The on-again, off-again war has proved very difficult for Trump to resolve, as the two nations wrestle over the Strait of Hormuz, a vital choke point for world energy supplies. Trump has fumed about an inability to strike a peace deal with Iran, while Republicans worry about being blamed for high gas prices ahead of the midterm elections.

The ceasefire that went into effect in early April at that time had been indefinitely extended. The White House had argued that the move stopped the war powers clock.

Opponents of the war on Capitol Hill, however, contended that argument was a misreading of the law. They noted that the U.S. Navy was still engaging in a blockade meant to force Tehran’s hand, even if major combat operations had halted.

The Senate last month voted to end the hostilities in what was a largely symbolic rebuke of the conflict but still a loss for Trump, who has seen a slow erosion of congressional support for his military engagements against Tehran.

That vote, 50-48, was fueled by four Republicans who joined Democrats to vote against the war unless it was given the green light by Congress. Their votes, combined with the absences of Sens. Dave McCormick (R-Pa.) and Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), were enough to propel the war powers measure forward.

The Senate action followed a similar successful vote in the House, where four Republicans joined Democrats, 215-208, to call for a halt to military operations in Iran unless authorized by Congress.

But the legal impact of those votes was limited. Concurrent resolutions are legally untested pieces of legislation that do not go to the president to be signed into law. Any measure that could restrict those presidential powers would almost certainly face a veto from the White House.

Another visualization of the largest, fastest demographic decimation in world history.

If it were done to anyone else, it would be called genocide.

But when it's done to White people, it's called “diversity.”
