Question 1 out of 5

Q: Which statement best explains the debate over President Donald Trump’s claim that he no longer needed congressional approval for U.S. military actions in Iran under the War Powers Resolution?

Select your answer:
A. Trump argued the law never applies to conflicts involving naval forces, so Congress had no role from the start.
B. Trump said the law only applies during declared wars, and since Congress never declared war, it did not apply.
C. Trump claimed the 60-day limit no longer applied because hostilities had ended after a cease-fire, even though U.S. military actions were still continuing.
D. Trump said Congress had already approved the military actions through a previous budget vote, making further approval unnecessary.
