The War Powers Resolution's 60-day limit on unauthorized military action reaches its deadline on Friday, exactly 60 days after President Trump's March 2 notification to Congress of hostilities against Iran. The Trump administration argues that a ceasefire marks the end of the conflict, though claims about its start date and a senior official's description of it as 'terminated' are unverified or disputed. Congressional efforts by Democrats to enforce withdrawal or authorization have been blocked by Republicans.
