Trumps Krieg gegen den Iran könnte bald als illegal gelten – die 60-tägige War Powers-Frist läuft am 1. Mai ab

US bureau chief explains why continuing hostilities after May 1 without congressional authorisation would put the administration in violation. He spoke to Michael Glennon, who as a young lawyer in 1973 helped craft the War Powers Resolution.
Glennon said: “It’s clearly beyond the Constitutional authority of the President, acting without congressional approval, because there was no likelihood of an imminent attack on the United States or its armed forces.”

Why even is there such law that allows president to be a dictator about wars for 60 days?

But there’s a ceasefire so we’re now day zero.

Isn’t everything he does illegal?

The War Powers Resolution has no enforcement mechanism, as any lawsuit would likely have to come from the Executive Branch/DOJ and would be found unconstitutional anyway.

Congress cannot pass a law that limits another branch, just as Congress couldn’t pass a law and say the Supreme Court’s decisions are only valid for 60 days.

Yes, only Congress declares war, but we haven’t been in a declared war since WW2 and we’ve been in many “wars” since then somehow.

And what if after ceasefire he start it again? Does he care about law?
