the legality of actions carried out by the administration of President Joe Biden in Syria. Lawmakers questioned the US's right to launch military strikes overseas, Politico writes.
In a letter to the White House, Congressmen noted that they are concerned about the “dangerous statement” of the Biden administration that the second article of the country's Constitution gives the right to Congress to implement strikes in Syria. In addition, they were embarrassed by the authorities' statement that the US actions in Syria were justified by a permit for the use of military force from 2001
“These statements raise serious constitutional questions about the uncontrolled activities of the executive branch in Syria and Iraq without the approval of Congress “, – underlined in the letter.
