That isn't why. It is because all of these politicians are corrupt assholes that profit off the MIC. This is why it is a uniparty and no one actually disagrees on foreign policy.

Trump no longer gets to decide whether Iran has nuclear weapons, unless he moves to Israel and runs for Prime Minister. He simply is out of power to lead an offensive war effort in America against Iran. Elections have consequences.
yes they will vote to cut funding for the war. Trump will just use emergency funding from somewhere else. When he does, what else can the legislature do?

This time there will be genuine support from the country. After last night not sure what Republican will defend Trump. Get rid of him, put Vance in place to salvage as much as possible of the last two years, and save as many seats as possible in the 2028 landslide.

Congressional approval is required for a war, which it has never given. But right now Trump can act like Congress has implicitly approved. If Congress passes a resolution that Trump *does not* have approval, then it's a Constitutional crisis if it continues.
You might as well ask "What if POTUS ignores SCOTUS?" Laws are just rules. It's all made up.

Let's take this question seriously.
No one knows what will happen next. Not even the Democrats. Iran surely is greatly emboldened. What will they now do? How will we respond? Walk away with our tails between the legs? Easier said than done.
Then Republican Senators will join the Dems to vote to impeach and the Pentagon will revolt. The remaining US Senators aren't going to give up their devotion to Israel, so if Trump caves to Iran and cuts a "deal", these Senators will blow a gasket how Trump betrayed Israel and surrendered to Iran.

the way to proceed is diplomatically-- mediated by respected Arab nation(s); Iran recognized as a sovereign nation, peers with Israel and Saudi Arabia, and superpower status in the ME is fair game, provided regional peace agreement is in the offering
House & Senate Dems will say they won't fund the Iran war anymore unless Trump makes massive concessions, like mass amnesty, turbo DEI, more immigration, more USAID, etc.

No, they're bloodless cucks and won't do shit. Most of them are Zionists or too cucked to oppose Israel. Voting for a war and voting to end it are two different things. The might not have voted to start the war, but they won't vote to end it because it makes the GOP look bad.
