White House: War Powers Resolution undermines U.S. Armed Forces ability to prevent terrorist activity

According to the White House, the War Powers Resolution passed in the House undermines the ability of U.S. Armed Forces to prevent terrorist activity from Iran. The Trump administration issued the statement Thursday, stating that the resolution is political, misguided and hinders the President�s right to protect the American people.

This comes after the legislation passed in the House Thursday, limiting the President�s powers regarding military action against Iran. The measure passed mostly along party lines in a 224-to-194 vote. House Democrats pushed for the resolution after claiming President Trump should have consulted with Congress on his decision to kill Iranian General Qasem Soleimani.

The President commented on the issue while speaking at a �Keep America Great� rally in Toledo, Ohio on Thursday. He pointed out that there tends to be a lot of behind-the-scenes corruption as well as leaks to the media.
