Will Congress ever assert itself on Iran?
Commentary is questioning whether the US Congress will ever reassert its constitutional role in shaping policy toward Iran. The debate centres on lawmakers' reluctance to challenge the executive branch over war powers, sanctions and diplomacy with Tehran, despite longstanding constitutional authority over declarations of war. Observers argue Congress has largely deferred to the White House on Iran strategy.
Why now: Ongoing tensions with Iran have revived questions about Congress's passive role in setting US policy.
