“These posts will serve as notification to the Congress of the United States. In the event that Iran were to strike any person or american target, the Us will react quickly and in an absolute way, perhaps disproportionately. This legal notice is not required, but must be considered as notified”. Thus, the president has declared yesterday evening on his Twitter account, sparking an endless debate on the social.

After the killing in Baghdad of the iranian general chief of the Pasdaran, Qassem Soleimani, following a raid american, you are lifted to the winds of war with a series of call-and-response of the Us-Iran, where both Countries are facing serious threats of retaliation in the military. And Trump is the equipment, the situation, perhaps also to avoid a debate in Congress at a time when he, himself, is the subject of impeachment.

What it provides for the Constitution of the united states on a possible declaration of the american war? Article 1, section 8 of the Constitution entrusts to Congress the power to declare war and fund it. The president, who is head of the armed forces, to start a conflict must notify Congress 48 hours before and can engage up to 60 days. But, the powers of the congress can also be deceived. On several occasions the White House has launched military operations without parliamentary approval. According to custom, vandrebbero warned and consulted the famous 8: the leaders of the two parties in the house and Senate with the presidents and the leaders of the committee of intelligence of the rooms.

“Wait, when he says ‘These post-media’,he is speaking of his tweets? Then is too scared or lazy to speak to the Congress,” says the user, @PackersFavreFan.

@RyanHillMI discuss more worried: “Trump. The legal notice is absolutely required. Please, make peace with the Constitution: article 1, section 8, clause 11: ‘THE CONGRESS SHALL HAVE THE POWER TO DECLARE WAR (in capital letters in the tweet, ndr).”

An outraged @eugenegu tweet: “Wow. Trump is literally using Twitter to declare war on Iran without even notifying the Congress with official. Never before in the history of the United States, no president has been so irreverent and disrespectful to our Constitution.”
