Re: Trump notifies Congress of new war against Iran
#2> Trump had previously notified lawmakers in May that the war launched in February had “terminated,” thereby negating a 60-day legal deadline under which military operations must halt without congressional authorization.
This is an interesting way to game the system. End each 60-day war and start a new one, it's a new war so a new 60-day window.

That might be a loophole, but in this case I don't think it matters. The emergency powers let the president do whatever they want at this point. And even if there is a law preventing endless war, Congress is completely fine with it, and has been for decades.

They won't, because they are vassals and not even aware of it.

Loosest cannon ever. Completely rogue. Of course there is zero respect for governance, for democracy, for the system.
