Trump Admin: War in Iran 'terminated'

War that continues for 60 plus days must get Congressional approval. So the Trump administrations is trying to avoid that by saying the war was terminated with the negotiated ceasefire. Yet the U.S. will continue to pay for the massive build up of military in the region, including those guarding the still-closed Strait of Hormuz and Americans will continue to pay high fuel prices.

The War Powers Act is clear.

If Congress has not authorized going to war, the President must withdraw U.S. forces after 60 days. Senators on both sides of the aisle have acknowledged this.

Today, we must abide by the law and end this war.[image or embed]

" Sen. Adam Schiff (@schiff.senate.gov) Apr 30, 2026 at 11:39 AM

Comments

"Katherine Yon Ebright, counsel at the Brennan Center's Liberty and National Security Program and an expert on war powers, said that interpretation would be a "sizeable extension of previous legal gamesmanship" related to the 1973 law.

"To be very, very clear and unambiguous, nothing in the text or design of the War Powers Resolution suggests that the 60-day clock can be paused or terminated," she said."

King Trump don't need no stinking Laws!

Just declare him Emperor already and disband Congress.

The Courts?

They just slow things down.

Trump needs Freedom of Action.

Consolidate the entire State in Trump.

Make him Supreme Leader.

No Judicial Review.

Everything is about Trump and his Whims.

Remember when Republicans preached

"We are a Nation of Laws."

What happened, Republicans?

From the NYT 1/9/25:

He [MAGAJesus] told four White House reporters who visited the Oval Office on Wednesday evening that he, not international law or treaties, would be the arbiter of any limits to his authority. Asked if there were any restraints on his global powers, he answered: "Yeah, there is one thing. My own morality. My own mind. It's the only thing that can stop me."

"I don't need international law," he added. "I'm not looking to hurt people."

The reporters ... asked whether his administration needed to abide by international law. "I do," the president responded. But there was a caveat. "It depends what your definition of international law is," he said.

MAGAJesus maketh and unmaketh out of his own head with plenty wood left over for more.
Praise be to MAGAJesus.
And a very happy 250th to all you Americanos

... The Trump administration is arguing that the war in Iran has already ended ...

First Pres Trump says that it was not a war, but a military operation.

Now he is saying that it is a war and that the war has ended?

The Dems turned on Biden and dumped him.
The Republicans?

I'm not interested in reading fake news, but did Trump actually use the word "terminated"?

It would fit him so perfectly since he's trapped living in an 80s movie.

"Terminated" is the legalistic term used in the letter MAGAJeebus tossed Congress' way on Day-60. It's a sop that will satisfy the Republicans so they don't have to actually meet, discuss, or vote on the forever war they've embraced - just duck and hide, as usual.

It's doubtful Trump himself actually said, "Terminated." I mean, really ... .

#12 | Posted by Doc_Sarvis at 2026-05-01 03:40 PM

Just declare him (Trump) Emperor already and disband Congress.

#2 | Posted by Effeteposer

That's been the plan from the start. No Constitution and so no Congress.

Offer the Crown to Trump, already. He'll take it.

We can't hold down a man who, as Trump himself says, is as great as Julius Caesar.

Perhaps we can give STD ...

#118 I figured out why you chose a name to be shortened to STD. You have an ABI caused during your birth because your mother had a venereal disease. Calling yourself STD makes you feel close to her, doesn't it?

You know Trumpy was watching to see if his name was mentioned. Dear Leader must have been very disappointed. The King did not mention Trumpy even once. But everyone knew exactly who he was referring to.

I say gov'na! Clever innit?

Don't worry.. that idiot Shrimpy will never understand the King actually schooled Trumpy on American and British history. And schooled America on how to talk to each other too. Using the King's English!

No way Shrimpy understood even half of it. .

Trump needed a war to distract from the fact he raped children.

#41 | Posted by ClownShack at 2026-05-02 03:25 PM

And Dummkopf Trumpf wanted to help Benjamin Netanyahu who told him the Iranian regime would collapse under their combined illegal onslaught. Some Trumpf junta advisors knew this was a fable but still allowed the attack to proceed.

The unlawful US war against the people of Iran on behalf of Israel will eclipse the disastrous 1961 Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba by inter-galactically exponential terms, but probably won't equal the trillion-dollar Islamophobic misadventures in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Dummkopf Trumpf had to show something for the astonishing $233,473,622 AIPAC has given him over the years which everyday Americans are now paying for.

www.politico.com
... President Donald Trump said on Saturday that he was reviewing a new Iranian proposal to end the war.

"I'll let you know about it later," he said before boarding Air Force One, adding that "they're going to give me the exact wording now." ...

#44 | Posted by LampLighter at 2026-05-02 11:30 PM

OK, I have questions ...

1) Pres Trump has already said he ended the war via the ceasefire. Is that prior statement not correct?

2) Pres Trump has stated that there was no one in charge in Iran, that the leadership of Iran was nebulous. So, who is he now talking with in Iran?

#45 | Posted by LampLighter at 2026-05-02 11:34 PM

For another $20 Million commute to Florida to watch golf.

"Trump Admin: War in Iran 'terminated'"

What does that mean?
Are we still doing the blockade or what?

#47 | Posted by snoofy at 2026-05-03 01:20 PM

The whole constitution has been terminated. It said that an insurrectionist can't run for president yet the entire nation decided that doesn't matter.

It's all irrelevant now and the laws are what the dictator says they are.

War powers can be ignored the same way.

I look forward to the day I no longer see his face, hear his voice or his ugly, obsessively-branded name spoken aloud in polite company ever again. You just gotta know it's only a matter of time before he starts sporting epaulettes. And maybe a jaunty little short-brimmed cap with a gaudy giant gold "T" over the brim. Would the requisite mustache be a bridge too far? Can he even grow one?
