Because Iran doesn’t have nukes.

These strikes were completely unnecessary and they were offensive not defensive. Article 2, Section 2 is not a valid excuse for these strikes because the President’s authorization of military force is not unlimited. There is no imminent threat from Iran. The idea that Iran is days away from a nuke is inconsistent with what Tulsi was reporting before she caved to the neocon narrative. These types of military operations require congressional approval. No AUMF was issued for these strikes. Therefore Article 1, Section 8 supercedes the President’s authority to conduct these strikes.
