Whether Donald Trump wants to follow the Constitution or not does not give a pass to members of Congress to not follow the Constitution. And we had an earlier instance of this. I filed a War Powers Resolution against war against Iran during Donald Trump term, term one. It passed both houses. Donald Trump vetoed it. But after he vetoed it, we noted that he backed off of some of the unilateral military action that he was waging against Iran because he understood what a vote of Congress meant. (03:25–03:32)
