Summary:
On February 26, Congressional Democrats announced plans to introduce War Powers resolutions in both the House and Senate to require President Donald Trump to seek Congressional approval before taking military action against Iran. This move comes amid President Trump's indications that he may pursue military options if Iran does not reach a deal on its nuclear program. A recent round of negotiations between U.S. and Iranian officials in Geneva ended without a diplomatic agreement. Senator Tim Kaine criticized the president for prioritizing potential military action over domestic issues such as rising costs and job losses.

Scripture: Proverbs 21:1 (NASB 1977)
"The king's heart is like channels of water in the hand of the LORD;

When lawmakers move to restrain a president’s ability to strike Iran without approval, it highlights how quickly national power can shift through human institutions. It feels procedural.

Domestic checks on executive power are tightening as Iran tensions rise, reflecting a broader pattern of divided counsel and shifting alliances among nations.

On Thursday, U.S. and Iranian negotiators concluded a round of talks in Geneva, Switzerland, without reaching a diplomatic breakthrough. “Americans are weighed down by rising costs and disappearing jobs,” Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) said in a Thursday X post. “Trump is failing to address these problems. Instead, he is toying with the idea of attacking Iran, needlessly jeopardizing servicemembers’ safety.”......
