The ongoing debate over the War Powers Act highlights a major constitutional clash between the executive and legislative branches. While the Trump administration argues that the April 7 ceasefire effectively "terminated" or "paused" the 60-day clock, many legal experts and lawmakers insist the 1973 law has no such pause button. With U.S. forces still maintaining a naval blockade often considered an act of hostilities the May 1 deadline has passed without clear congressional authorization, leaving the legal status of continued operations in a precarious gray zone. #WarPowersAct #USIran #ConstitutionalCrisis #Trump2026
