Trump’s May 1 deadline: Can he continue war on Iran after that?
Al Jazeera·4h ago·Neutral
What Happened
President Trump extended ceasefire with Iran but faces a May 1 congressional deadline under the War Powers Resolution. The 1973 law requires presidential authorization after 60 days of military deployment. Congress must pass joint resolution approving continued operations, though presidents have previously bypassed this requirement using alternative authority sources.
