President Donald Trump has claimed that the Iran war has ended, despite the 60-day deadline for congressional approval passing. This move has raised questions about whether the ongoing ceasefire in Iran could reset congressional approval. Legal experts have refuted this claim, arguing that the United States is still using the U.S. armed forces in connection with the conflict. The War Powers Resolution, which was first adopted in 1973, requires the president to notify Congress within 48 hours of introducing US forces into hostilities and withdraw within 60 days unless Congress authorizes the action. However, the bill does not specify whether a pause in hostilities or a ceasefire resets the clock, leaving it open to interpretation. The White House responded to the DCNF pointing to the newly released letter pointing to constitutional concerns.
