Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

MODERATORS
Clinton ignored the War Powers Resolution during the 1999 NATO bombing campaign. He ignored the Resolution's 60-day limit without formal congressional authorisation and ignored the fact congress voted against the declaration of war. The subsequent Campbell v. Clinton case had the federal appeals court ultimately dismiss the lawsuit, ruling that members of Congress lacked the legal standing to sue the President over his war-making actions, neutering the War Powers Resolution.
So yeah prepare for this to mean nothing.
So it's a strongly worded letter.
I'm not about the adjective 'strongly'. That might come in a few months after the first letter is ignored.
trump will veto it anyway
idk.
I think there's a good chance that he wants an off-ramp and will make a huge show of respecting the will of the legislature in the process of backing out of the war.
anything is possible - copium doesn’t work with this one though
Wdym copium?
They're saying you're being way too optimistic.
basically, in jurassic park dr ian malcom voice: “trump finds a way”
oh, I was just contemplating a different possibility of how things might unfold. I don't have so much of an investment in which is which, whatever happens with this particular issue. I'm not American or Iranian.
I do agree it will somehow turn out in his favour. I would prefer that he just fucks off instead.
