VP Vance: He may decide he needs to take further action to end Iranian enrichment. That decision ultimately belongs to the president.

The constitution: [The Congress shall have Power . . . ] To declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water

Does the President have unilateral power to start war with Iran?

Who's "declaring war"?
Sending a few "advisers" over to "assess" a international situation is not declaring war.

If Biden was threatening to attack Iran you know what the stance would be here.


There are some logical inconsistencies that come with MAGA.

No but he does have the War Powers Act. After going to war the president has to notify Congress within 48 hours after which Congress can authorize the war or not. They have 60 days.

I thought Trump wasn't like other politicians, was against the war in Iraq, and was making America Great Again (not beholden to Bush politics)

MagaTards’ only political value or ideal is whatever Trump says or is pushing at the present moment.

For one, this isn’t war. Secondarily iran can be crushed with a couple drone and air strikes much quicker than what battle was like in the early 2000s.

What is the concern about destroying iran? You think China or Russia care about iran?

The USA Patriot Act allows him to do it. Just like it has allowed every other president since bush to launch strikes without approval from congress. Or at least that what they always claim
