Trump administration seeks to turn War Powers Resolution into ‘paper tiger’

'Bruce Fein, a US constitutional and international law expert and former US associate deputy attorney general, spoke to Al Jazeera about the limits of the War Powers Resolution to constrain a US president determined to go to war without congressional approval.

Fein said the resolution “never says anywhere” that the 60-day deadline to receive congressional approval for military action “stops if there’s a ceasefire”.

On Thursday, a Trump administration official said – on the eve of the 60-day limit to wage war without Congress’s approval – that the war in Iran has ended due to the ceasefire that began in early April.

That means, according to reports, President Trump does not deem it necessary to seek congressional approval for military action against Iran.

Fein warned that such an interpretation “turns the resolution into simply a paper tiger”.

“You have to ask, why has President Trump not asked Congress to declare war? Just like in the Vietnam war, there was not any declaration of war there either, because he knows he would lose the vote,” Fein said.

“Why would Mr Trump not ask Congress for a declaration if he thought it would pass? He has a majority in the House and the Senate. He knows he will lose,” he said.

“The War Powers Resolution is a sideshow. The real element here is that under Nuremberg International law principles adopted by Congress, we are engaged in a criminal war of aggression,” he added.'

or the couple hundred people here are very aware of The Greater israel Project since you shamelessly harass us in unrelated comment threads copy-pasting and boost your zappless posts over and over and over and we are all tired of seeing it

maybe no one is suppressing The Greater israel Project and you are a self-important paranoid armchair general so dickless that you can only fight the bad guys by harassing randoms on the internet

have you considered that?

reply

You claim to speak for all Stackers.
You don't.

If you are not interested in the war and The Greater Israel Project simply ignore my posts or mute me.
And when you comment speak for yourself- do not assume you speak for others- others can speak their mind instead of you assuming the right to speak for them.

What percentage of the population are even aware of The Greater Israel Project?
My guess would be less than 5%.
Do we want Stackers to be as ignorant as the general public? Maybe you do.

This war is the biggest event in world news of this decade - it affects virtually everyone on the planet, adversely, (except for Big Oil, military contractors, Zionist land grabbers and war criminals).

It is being waged in breach of international law and all measures of human decency but if you don't give a fuck and want to bury your head in the sand and ignore it and what is driving it, be my guest, but stop harassing me for posting what I and some other stackers are interested in...the motives and drivers behind this war of aggression led by Israel and supported by Trump/USA.

Until they are downzapped many of the posts about the war have more interesting dialogue and discussion that most others here on Stacker News. I will not harass you for whatever banal trivial virtue signalling echo chamber arsemilking nonsense you post- I will simply ignore it- and that is ALL YOU HAVE TO DO.

I do not give a fuck if you have a problem with what I post because you have a problem with dealing with reality . . . and freedom of speech.

Mahmoud Khalil calls out ongoing threats against him

Months after his release from US immigration detention over his involvement in peaceful campus protests against the Gaza genocide, Columbia University graduate Mahmoud Khalil has said he is still facing threats.

In a post on X, Khalil responded to New York City councilwoman Vickie Paladino, a Republican, saying that he should be loaded into a military plane, handed a parachute and pushed “out the back over Syria”.

“A New York City councilwoman is publicly fantasizing about killing me, and somehow I’m the threat,” Khalil said.

A Palestinian who was born a refugee in Syria, Khalil was a graduate student at Columbia’s School of International and Public Affairs in New York when he was detained by US immigration agents on March 8, 2025.

The Trump administration said they intended to deport Khalil despite his having legal residence in the US and having broken no laws.

His case, which the Trump administration continues to contest, attracted international attention before a Judge ruled his detention unconstitutional in June.

My instruction prompts are between 50 and 1500 lines nowadays, templated. I haven't argued with a bot in weeks. Instead, if it messes up, I just make it do it again.

I don't use MS stuff tho.

reply

Yea last week they blocked all AI sites at my work.

This week MS took away the only thing Co-Pilot was kinda useful to me for, editing inside of Word. I think it was taken away from the free plans for companies.

Co-pilot's code does mostly work for my little apps, it's just super slow and does this retarded stuff sometimes lol

Literally prompt engineering

reply

Perhaps - it's not much engineering, more teaching. I look at it as each instruction (in the form of a ticket) being explicit end to end (I don't use any markdown files for "rules" because that mixes up concerns). The engineering part is that I don't have to write all that.

It's quite ridiculous that so many people are being pushed to study for 20+ years, work for 40+ years, then retire, and die, then what's the point?

We're human beings and we're consist of a body (as matter) and a soul (as our innate unique properties).
As body meaning of life is survive and prolong you body in the future (give birth).
As a soul we use our unique properties to serve society and make it better (teacher's teaching, doctor's healing, etc).

As an example we can look at a tree. It's a big organism where we're as a branch serving the whole organisms, give birth to the new branches and live as long as our tree lives.

survive sounds a bit dimp, how about thriving?

reply

You only thrive if you're alive. The basic instinct is to survive, everything else comes after that.

reply

for many people life meaning is exactly that: eat, study, sleep, work, retire and then unexpectedly get sick and die die.

Choose your life meaning wisely next time!

The 20+ years spent in school learning about nonsense were the ones that pissed me off the most. Imagine if people got to learn whatever they are interested in with all those time, how much more human potential could be unlocked?

reply

Ah, but it is sometimes unclear how to pursue "whatever they are interested in."

We homeschool our kids and I am doing my best to encourage them to pursue the things that interest them, but it is surprisingly difficult to help them go deep on something that is also useful. Maybe I shouldn't put too many bounds on it, but children do seem to be a little like weathervanes: they just turn whichever way the wind blows.

I think that it is more like I want to encourage them to pursue fulfilling whatever need they recognize in the world.
