[00:00:00]Do you know why Trump wants everyone to believe the Iran war is over?

[00:00:07]Because the 60-day war powers deadline has arrived.

[00:00:14]Under U.S. law, the president cannot keep American forces in hostilities forever without Congress.

[00:00:24]After 60 days, he needs approval or the operation is supposed [music] to end.

[00:00:33]So, when Trump says the war is terminated, he's not only describing the battlefield, he is making a legal argument.

[00:00:44]If the fighting is over, he can say Congress does not need to vote, but critics say that is too convenient.

[00:00:54]As his fire can pause the shooting, but it does not automatically remove the risk, the [music] troops, or the possibility of renewed conflict.

[00:01:04]So, the real fight now is in Washington.

[00:01:08]Who gets to decide when America [music] is at war?
