‘They’re traitors’: JD Vance publicly calls Congress attempt to restrain Donald Trunp’s foreign invasions ‘unconstitutional’

In the past week, the U.S. Senate advanced, then narrowly rejected a joint resolution to constrain Trump’s authority to conduct military operations without congressional authorization. Now, JD Vance has publicly called the War Powers Act “fundamentally fake and unconstitutional.”

In the White House on Jan. 8, reporters asked Vance about Congress invoking the War Powers Act to rein in President Donald Trump’s foreign military actions. But the vice president waved the entire statute away as “fake” and “unconstitutional.” He framed the War Powers Resolution as little more than a legal nuisance.
