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]

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.
