US EditionLawler Rips Massie, Democrats over War Powers Push After US Strikes in Iran
- On Saturday, Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., and Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., introduced a War Powers Resolution after President Donald Trump authorized strikes on Iran as part of Operation Epic Fury.
- Tied to a longer trend, lawmakers argue the Iran campaign follows rapid executive actions, echoing Venezuela earlier this year and Iran first strike last year, amid Congress's diminished war powers role after authorizations more than 20 years ago.

- Practically, the measures confront uncertainty in the House as some House Democrats supported the strikes, while success in the Senate depends on Republican cross-aisle support and veto override challenges.
