Hegseth says War Powers deadline void amid Iran ceasefire
Original: Hegseth says War Powers deadline doesn't apply because of ceasefire with Iran
Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth said the War Powers resolution deadline does not apply to the deployment against Iran, arguing the ceasefire between Israel and Iran has ended the hostilities that triggered it. Lawmakers had sought to force a vote on limiting US military action, and his interpretation is likely to sharpen the dispute over congressional authority over war powers.
Why now: The claim directly challenges Congress's authority to constrain US military action against Iran.
