Congress looks for Trump's exit plan as Iran war drags on

The Republican president's decision to launch the U.S.-Israel-led war with Iran is testing the resolve of the Congress, which is controlled by his party. “If I'm advising the president, I would have said: Before you take on a war of choice, make the case clear to the American people what our goals are," he said. Many lawmakers have recalled the decision by President George W. Bush in the aftermath of the Sep. 11, 2001, attacks to come to Congress to seek an authorization for the use of military force — a vote to support his proposed military actions in Afghanistan and later, Iraq.
