The White House says top Trump administration officials will brief both chambers of Congress on Tuesday about the U.S. strikes on Iran. President Trump launched the attacks without congressional authorization, which is required under Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution. On Saturday, Democratic Congressmember Ro Khanna of California and Republican Thomas Massie of Kentucky demanded swift action on a War Powers Resolution that would rein in Trump’s attack unless Congress approves military action. 

This comes as top Democrats, including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, are under fire from antiwar groups, who note they oppose Trump’s attack on Iran on procedural grounds rather than opposition to war. A Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted over the weekend found only one in four U.S. residents approves of the U.S. strikes on Iran.
