FILE – President Joe Biden speaks at en event March 13, 2024, in Milwaukee. A major deadline under the half-century-old War Powers Resolution came this week for Biden to obtain Congress’ approval to keep waging his military campaign against Yemen’s Houthis.
That’s left some frustrated Senate Democrats calibrating how far to go in confronting a president of their own party over his military authority. The Middle East conflicts have revived what’s been a long-running clash between presidents, who are the commanders in chief, and Congress, which holds the authority to stop and start wars, or lesser uses of military force, and controls their funding.
The White House continues to insist that the military actions are to defend U.S. forces and do not fall under the resolution’s 60-day provision. Murphy and other Democrats in Congress have expressed concern about the effectiveness of the U.S. attacks on the Houthis, the risk of further regional escalation and the lack of clarity on the administration’s end game. They’ve asked why the administration sees it as the U.S. military’s mission to protect a global shipping route.
“I believe that the president has all the power that he needs under the Constitution to do what he’s doing in Yemen,” Risch said this week.
