Although the White House has insisted that President Biden has the legal authority to take military action against the Houthis, several members of Congress have refuted its claims. At a Senate hearing in February, several senators called attention to the War Powers Resolution, which establishes that the president cannot continue hostilities for longer than 60 days without approval from Congress.

Regardless, Congress has failed to act, even now that the deadline has passed. March 12, the day that the White House was required to cease its military operations, “came, and went, in public silence, as the Associated Press reported.

          False, it’s because there is a genocide happening in Gaza which is facilitated by the west and they would like it to stop, so they are hitting where it hurts them most

                Nah you’re right we should take what the people randomly attacking ships say at face value and ignore the potential desires of the famously peaceful Islamic republic which provides them arms and training.

                  Nah you’re right we should take what the people randomly attacking ships

                  They’re not attacking Chinese and Russian ships, so not quite random I would say.

                  potential desires of the famously peaceful Islamic republic which provides them arms and training.

                  Noone is saying they’re not getting support.

                  Nah you’re right we should take what the west and Israel are saying at face value and believe that these attacks are totally random. We definitely should bomb them in order to make them stop, instead of considering that they might be right in demanding a stop of the genocide in Gaza.

                “Maybe we shouldn’t take what these people attacking ships at random say at face value” really comes out in your mind as “Lets support the genocide”?

      civilians and their ships

      They stopped being “civilians” the moment they started supplying a genocide.

      You have your head up your ass. Editing your comment doesn’t change that.
