that’s only part of it. congress still needs to authorize further action, and if they don’t any troops that might be deployed will need to withdraw

Approval isn’t needed.

Since the bombings appear to comprise the entirety of the military’s intervention against Iran, Congress’s authorization isn’t requisite.

congress’s authorization is required under the War Powers Resolution unless an attack occurs on US soil. sec 5b covers what happens if the President does not gain approval, and if they do not approve now then there are 60 days to withdraw troops and cease involvement

It is comically easy to circumvent so long as the military is not continuously engaged for 60 days.

and circumventing a law established due to an abuse of power is a good thing, right?

Congress should have been more fastidious when writing the law.

but they weren’t, and here we are. so now that we’ve established that’s BAD, maybe we should set a precedent for the future
