Desperately Seeking Loopholes

U.S. hostilities with Iran that began in February have "terminated" for purposes of the War Powers Resolution, according to a senior administration official to Reuters. "Both parties agreed to a ​2-week ceasefire ​on Tuesday, April 7, ‌that ⁠has since been extended…there has ​been ​no ⁠exchange of fire between ​U.S. Armed ​Forces ⁠and Iran since Tuesday, April ⁠7."
Do they think that means any further action against Iran is a wholly new one that starts a new clock?
The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Dan “Razin” Caine, along with the Commander of U.S. Central Command, Adm. Brad Cooper briefed President Trump today for 45 minutes on new plans for possible military action against the Islamic Republic of Iran, two U.S. officials told Axios.
Never mind.

This only works if Congress allows it to work. The general public won’t care, except we’re still bombing Iran, and the price of gas keeps going up. The only thing that will make a difference is body bags. That will just make people care more; and not in a way that helps the GOP.
