"Senate rejects bid to force Trump to get Congress’ approval for future ‘hostilities’ against Iran"
POTUS is CinC. Only Congress can declare War, but it doesn't have any say in troop movements and actions. End of discussion.

Sgt David Ray Would love to see that come to fruition. However, we the people would pay for it with increased costs and more cheating that business have free rein to refuse to make good on resolving since Consumer Protection effectiveness has been undermined.

I disagree with the Senate here. I believe Congress, after the 60 day window, needs to either reign in the president's action, or do an AUMF or declaration of war.

I haven't looked it up, I just assumed that the "ask for a 30 day extension" was for scenarios like everything in place for strikes, and/or a pause in action, to allow for negotiations that could resolve in under 30 days.

LTC Trent Klug Thank you. That is the reasonable course of action.
Let's inform our Senators that is our advice to them.

OP=Original Poster
The original poster said Congress plays no role. That’s not true at all. First of all, Congress passed the War Powers Act, which gave the Executive Branch some initial leeway in handling foreign affairs involving military force, but they withheld anything after that. And, Congress does control all funding. So, anyone who says that Congress “doesn’t have any say” is someone who doesn’t understand how our government works.

LTC Kevin B. - Thank you for the clarification about OP.
Well, if Congress is not responsible for allocating budgetary funding who is. That is supposedly common knowledge. Maybe it is about the sourcing of the funds Congress does not do for the budget?
I'm going to guess that at least one Congressional committee (or advisorry Senate Committee) may have been cleared to fund for . . . I don't know what else to label ot other than "black ops" i.e. secret fundings for secret projects.
Or else all of Congress has to agree to add bogus amounts here and there to items in the budget that are not itemized. Or maybe they simply buy into what seems like excessive budgetary costs because they know it is useless to question them?
The public speaks up though and it contributes to Congress being considered ineffective when they do not provide answers for unaccounted for inflated costs.
I suppose "the big beautiful budget" is full of the "none of your business"/need to know type inflated items, that no one is considered to have a need to know.<sigh>
