Iran -- day 60, the hard deadline under the War Powers Resolution

You believe in a government that follows the law. So do we.   For two months, the Trump administration has been waging an illegal war on Iran without congressional approval, without legal authorization, and without an exit plan. The administration dubiously claimed that it could wage this war unilaterally because it was responding to an imminent threat. But even under that authority, today marks day 60, the hard deadline under the War Powers Resolution for the president to end hostilities if Congress hasn’t authorized them.   And yet the war continues.   The administration is out of legal justifications. Congress has the power to end this and has chosen not to act. POGO is keeping the pressure on — calling out the legal violations and pushing Congress to finally act.   That work only happens because of supporters like you.

Fund POGO’s work

Our efforts don’t end at day 60. A gift right now helps POGO keep the pressure on members of Congress until they finally rein in this executive overreach.   When power goes unchecked, POGO shows up. Thank you for making that work possible.   — POGO
