WASHINGTON (AP) " The Trump administration is arguing that the war in Iran has already ended because of the ceasefire that began in early April, an interpretation that would allow the White House to avoid the need to seek congressional approval.
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.
