As the April 29 War Powers Resolution deadline nears, most Republicans expect President Trump to request a 30-day extension rather than support limiting his military authority in Iran.
Democrats have increased pressure for a war powers vote, but repeated House and Senate attempts have failed, and any resolution would likely face a presidential veto.
Some Republicans argue the ceasefire justifies more time, while others downplay the deadline’s significance, suggesting the true test of Congressional authority may come at the 90-day mark in late May.
