War is over, if you want it

Never underestimate Mike Johnson’s ability to find reasons to refuse to do his job:
House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., said Thursday that it is not necessary for Congress to weigh in on the Trump administration’s military action in Iran because the United States is currently “not at war.”
“I don’t think we have an active, kinetic military bombing, firing or anything like that. Right now, we are trying to broker a peace,” Johnson told NBC News in the Capitol. “I would be very reluctant to get in front of the administration in the midst of these very sensitive negotiations, so we’ll have to see how that plays out.”
His comments come as the ongoing military conflict with Iran nears the 60-day mark, a threshold outlined in the 1973 War Powers Resolution, which says that the president has to remove military forces from conflict within 60 days if Congress doesn’t authorize a war before that deadline.
When pressed about the 60-day deadline, which falls on Friday, Johnson specifically said, “We are not at war.”
The other takeaway here is that Johnson either doesn’t think he can get the votes to support Donald’s Folly or doesn’t want frontline members to have to walk the plank again before the midterms.
