About this episode

The episode discusses the implications of the sixtieth day of conflict in Iran and the need for congressional approval for continued military action.

Today marks the sixtieth day since US President Donald Trump formally notified Congress of his strikes in Iran. That sixty day mark is significant, because it marks the point at which the administration needs congressional approval to continue the war, but the administration is arguing that the ceasefire means they do not need to go before congress.
