President Donald Trump’s decision to order military strikes on Iran without first requesting the approval of the congress was met with immediate but familiar criticisms, legislators through the political spectrum.
The presidents have taken actions similar to those of Trump for decades and have attracted the counterou for the bypass of the Congress Authority. The Constitution gives the congress the power to declare war, but the presidents of the power to control military and foreign policy.
Gene Healy, vice-president director of the libertarian Cato Institute, told Fox News Digital that in terms of “crossing a constitutional rubicon, it is a territory that the presidents have been dancing since at least Harry Truman”.
“In each case, it is in contradiction with the original conception of constitutional war powers, namely that one person should not have the power to embroider the United States in foreign wars,” said Healy.

His reflection group also reprimanded former President Barack Obama in 2011 after Obama unilaterally authorized air strikes in Libya in the context of an effort led by NATO to enforce an area of air exclusion in the country and protect civilians.
“The president is abandoned in his duty to obey the constitution and the resolution of war powers. And the congress is abandoned in his duty to assert his constitutional authority,” wrote another member of the Thinktank at the time.
The Congress adopted the law on war powers in 1973 to install railings for presidents who seek to authorize military action, but the criticisms declared that the resolution had no power and that legislative power must reaffirm its authority by adopting a more difficult policy or by making the government’s financing threats.
Bob Bauer, who was a lawyer for Obama at the White House, recently discussed with former federal prosecutor Jack Goldsmith in an interview on Sublack of what they considered as the war powers in constant expansion of the President and the war powers in constant fight against Congress.
Bauer said that the presidents consulted their Blanche House advice and other agencies to ensure that they have acquired enough support before any planned military action.
“It is generally understood that this is a choice that the president can make,” said Bauer, adding: “It is not a long -term situation in the long term, and we are again confronted with the consequences now.”

Trump has collected informal support for his actions crucial members of the Congress, notably the Senate and the Republican leaders of the Chamber, but legislators at the most distant ends of the political spectrum destroyed him.
“The disastrous decision of the president to bomb Iran without authorization is a serious violation of the Constitution and the powers of the Congress War,” wrote Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, DN.Y.
Representative Thomas Massie, R-KY., Denounced Trump’s actions as unconstitutional, affirming that the Congress must adopt a resolution giving the President the permission to carry out a military act. Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-GA., Failed to respond to the role of the Congress in the declaration of war, but pointed out on X on Monday that she opposed Trump’s attack on Iran because, in his opinion, this challenged his make America again ethical.
The actions of the president were a “complete bait and to pass to please the neoconservatives, hot heat, contracts of the military industrial complex and personalities of Neocon television,” said Greene.
The office of legal advisers, which is part of the Ministry of Justice, justified Obama’s attack on Libya in 2011 in a pages of 14 pages noticespecking his position according to which the president of the time did not flout the Constitution or the law by bypassing the congress.

The justification of the Trump administration to attack Iranian nuclear installations echoed the feelings of the Mémo de l’Ere Obama.
The two administrations have cited a broad threat to “national interests” rather than a direct threat to the United States or an urgent need for self-defense. None of the president’s military actions understood the “regime change” as a goal, although Trump has since launched this language.
Former President George HW Bush did not have the explicit authorization of the congress to deploy thousands of troops in Somalia as part of a United Nations mission in 1992, and former President Bill Clinton did not send troops to Bosnia in 1995 and intervened in the Kosovo conflict in 1999 by authorizing air transactions against the seroscopic forces.
The Bureau of Legal Councils generally advises the executive power of the legality of its actions, and the memo on the strikes in Libya has cited a series of other examples which signal the presidents have long on the search for an authorization from the Congress, which would require a vote in the Chamber and the Senate.

The memo declared that a “possible” limit under the Constitution to a president bypassing the Congress to use the military force would be when the action provided for “constitutes a” war “in the sense of the clause of declaration of war”.
“But the historical practice of presidential military action without approval of the congress prevents any suggestion that the authority of the Congress from declaring war covers each military commitment, as limited, that the president initiates,” said the note.
