Susan Collins said she is very likely to vote against authorizing further hostilities if the Iran conflict reaches 60 days. The War Powers Resolution requires combat to end after 60 days without congressional authorization, though the president may request an extension.
At a Thursday forum, Collins said she would likely vote not to authorize further hostilities if the conflict reaches the 60-day mark. She said she had wanted the operation to be brief and successful and had wanted to show support for U.S. troops.
The article explains that the War Powers Resolution requires the president to report to Congress within two days of deploying the military without authorization, and that combat must end after 60 days unless Congress allows it. It says the president may request a 30-day extension.
