While the legislators are arguing about his position in the leadership chain, where President Donald Trump has a possible strike on Iran, one of the experts believes that the president is part of his constitutional authority to move forward in a supercoma.
Legislators on both sides of the corridor are involved in the discussion about their whereabouts in the arrangement of the attackers. Some argue that they should have the only power to clarify a strike, not to mention the declaration of war, while others believe that it was within Trump’s jurisdiction if he wants to join the campaign of Israel’s bombing against Iran.

The prevailing argument on the hill is that the complete goal of supporting Israel is to prevent or obtain a nuclear weapon from establishing a nuclear weapon.
However, the legal researcher who helped formulate a 2001 license to use military force (AUSF), who authorized the use of the American armed forces to interact with the entities that then President George W. Bush believes that it is behind the September 11, 2001 attack in New York City.
“The position we took at the time,” John Yu, to Fox News Digital, is the same as the same position that Trump should take now, “John Yu told Fox News Digital. “As a legal issue, the president does not need permission from congress to participate in hostilities abroad. But as a political issue, it is extremely important for the president to go to Congress and bring the United Front to our enemies.”

The constitution divides the powers of war between Congress and the White House, giving legislators the only power to declare war, while the president acts as a major commander who directs the army. After nearly two centuries, at the height of the Vietnam War, the 1973 war decision was born, which sought to further define these roles.
Yu agreed that the constitution was clear that Congress had the only power to declare war, which effectively changes the legal status of the country. However, it is reported that “utensils do not believe that the language means that the president and the Congress resemble an arms officer on a nuclear branch and they must convert the keys at the same time to use force.”
He said: “The founders were very practical men, and they knew that Congress was slow to behave, and that Congress is a large body circulating, but it was the president who behaves quickly and decisive in defending the nation.”
The addition of fuel to the discussion in Washington is a pair of decisions in the Senate of Senator Tim Kane, D-FA, and the Council, of actors Thomas Massi, RK, and Roy Khanna, Mid California, it takes a discussion and vote before using any force against Iran. Mandates are designed to place a check on Trump salad and reaffirm the Constitutional Authority of Congress.

Yu said that the decisions seem to be forms of “political opportunism” and indicated that when former President Joe Biden wanted to send assistance to Ukraine, when former President Barack Obama had been involved abroad or when Trump authorized a drone strike to kill Iranian General Qassem Solmani, there was no decision calling for Congress by saying.
Yu said: “People on the hill confuse what is constitutionally necessary with what is political appropriate.” “Two things are very different.”
He said that the real force of Congress on the war was the power of the wallet, which means the ability of legislators to determine whether the Pentagon and the army will be funded in their credits.

The huge draft law includes about 150 billion dollars in financing the Ministry of Defense.
Yu said: “If Congress does not really want us, and Trump does not want to get involved in the Iran war.” “All they have to do is not to finance the army.”
“The paradoxical thing is that you have people who vote to give tens of billions of dollars to the Ministry of Defense, who are traveling and then complain that they do not have the ability to vote on the war,” he said. “Every time they vote for financing, they vote to make the war be possible.”
