Republicans Waited to Challenge Trump on the Iran War

New York Times: “The Republican-led Congress has missed a crucial window to play a role in the U.S. military operation in Iran, with G.O.P. lawmakers who deferred to President Trump for months on the war now hand-tied by their reticence to challenge him and his administration’s efforts to evade congressional oversight or input.”

“That posture — the latest move by Republicans to cede congressional power to the president — has effectively allowed Mr. Trump to run out the clock for quick action by Congress on the conflict.”
