Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chair Gen.

President Trump has already called the timeline — established under the War Powers Act to give the president authority to deploy troops without congressional approval — unconstitutional. Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) is leading a push for a vote on a resolution to authorize the use of military force beyond the 60-day threshold following tit-for-tat strikes, but not everyone is on board.…

YOUTUBE (The Hill) - Watch live: Trump delivers remarks at nonpartisan club in Florida
President Trump is scheduled to give remarks on Friday at a nonpartisan club in West Palm Beach, Fla., just hours after formally telling Congress that the ongoing ceasefire with Iran stopped the clock tied to the 60-day deadline invoked by the War Powers Act.
