Lawfare Daily: Congressional Resolutions to End the War in Iran

On today's podcast, Executive Editor Natalie Orpett speaks with Senior Editor Scott R. Anderson about what Congress can do to direct the president to end the war in Iran. Scott's recent article in Lawfare, “What Congressional Resolutions Mean for the War in Iran,” explained why a likely presidential veto of a War Powers Resolution is not the end of the story. The War Powers Resolution gives Congress other tools—including some procedural tricks—that could have a meaningful influence on ending the war. They talk about Scott's article, why he thinks a concurrent resolution is the best option, and how congressional action may be more than just political messaging—it could have real legal significance.
