House Speaker Mike Johnson weighed in on Tuesday following President Donald Trump’s recent decision to order strikes on Iranian nuclear sites without congressional approval. The strikes come as Trump’s administration continues to expand executive authority through Project 2025 appointees.
According to Mediaite, Johnson told reporters on Capitol Hill that he believes Trump should have more power to send the military into fights overseas without asking Congress. The Louisiana Republican argued that the 1973 law that requires presidents to get congressional approval for war is not constitutional.
