About this episode
<p>On today's podcast, Executive Editor Natalie Orpett speaks with Senior Editor Scott R. Anderson about what Congress can do to direct the president to end the war in Iran. Scott's recent article in <em>Lawfare</em>, “<a href="https://www.lawfaremedia.org/article/what-congressional-resolutions-mean-for-the-war-in-iran" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">What Congressional Resolutions Mean for the War in Iran</a>,” explained why a likely presidential veto of a War Powers Resolution is not the end of the story. The War Powers Resolution gives Congress other tools—including some procedural tricks—that could have a meaningful influence on ending the war. They talk about Scott's article, why he thinks a concurrent resolution is the best option, and how congressional action may be more than just political messaging—it could have real legal significance.</p><p>To receive ad-free podcasts, become a <em>Lawfare </em>Material Supporter at <a href="http://www.patreon.com/lawfare" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.patreon.com/lawfare</a>.
