The Constitution says Congressional approval is necessary to declare war. But since 9/11 Congress has passed and regularly reauthorizes the National Defense Authorization Act, which gives the president broad authority to do whatever he thinks is necessary to “fight terrorism.”

The NDAA is why there’s no limit whatsoever to Trump’s ability to take military action against Iran. A sweeter give away to the military-industrial-complex could not exist. A sure sign of who and what runs American foreign policy.
