#Republican lawmakers are defending Ttump’s decision. Sen Dave McCormick (R-PA) said on Fox News that the #WarPowers Resolution of 1973 gives the president 60 days to commit armed forces to #military actions before having to seek congressional approval. Rep Pat Harrigan (R-NC) also said #Trump “followed the law,” echoing the same argument.
