U.S. lawmakers will try again next week to pass a resolution to halt the Iran war and force President Donald Trump to obtain \u200bCongress’ approval for any further attacks, Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer said \u200con Wednesday, hours after Trump announced a two-week ceasefire.
“Congress must reassert its authority, especially at this dangerous moment,” Schumer told a press conference at his office in New York.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Trump agreed to the ceasefire \u200bon Tuesday, less than two hours before his deadline for Tehran to \u200breopen the blockaded Strait of Hormuz or face devastating attacks on its \u2060civilian infrastructure.
Trump’s threat that “a whole civilization will die tonight” prompted global concern and \u200bcensure from Democrats, dozens of whom called for Trump’s removal from office. The 1949 Geneva \u200bConventions on humanitarian conduct in war prohibit attacks on sites considered essential for civilians.
Schumer called Trump’s statements “unhinged” and criticized the war for failing to weaken Iran’s government or rein in its nuclear \u200bprogram, while global fuel prices have risen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Iran says its nuclear program is peaceful. The \u200bTrump administration has sought to portray the war as a decisive victory, although the top U.S. general \u200csaid \u2060U.S. troops stood ready to resume fighting.
The White House says Trump’s actions are legal and within his rights as commander-in-chief to protect the U.S. by ordering limited military operations.
Democrats in the Senate and House of Representatives have tried and repeatedly failed in recent months \u200bto pass war \u200bpowers resolutions to force \u2060Trump to obtain lawmakers’ authorization before launching military operations.
Trump’s fellow Republicans in Congress – who hold slim majorities in both the Senate \u200band House – have almost unanimously backed his policies. Although the \u200bU.S. Constitution \u2060says that Congress, not the president, can declare war, that restriction does not apply for short-term operations or if the country faces an immediate threat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
