Hegseth claims 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 says the War Powers resolution deadline for reporting to Congress on military action against Iran does not apply, arguing a ceasefire has changed the legal situation. The claim is drawing scrutiny from lawmakers and legal observers over the administration's position on congressional authority over military operations.
Why now: The administration's argument that a ceasefire removes its reporting obligation has sparked debate over presidential war powers and congressional oversight.
