House Speaker\u00a0Mike Johnson<\/strong>\u00a0(R-LA) was asked during a Capitol Hill press conference on Tuesday at what point he will move to use congressional power to check President\u00a0Donald Trump\u2019s<\/strong>\u00a0war in Iran. Johnson pointedly ended his reply by saying \u201cwe\u2019ve got to wrap it up\u201d in Iran, which many pundits and political insiders have warned is an additional threat to the GOP keeping its majorities in Congress.<\/p>\n Johnson\u2019s answer appeared to be at odds with Trump, who\u00a0vowed<\/a>\u00a0earlier in the day to continue bombing Iran\u00a0indefinitely<\/a>\u00a0until they come to the negotiating table in good faith.<\/p>\n \u201cYou repeatedly said that you trust the administration to handle the war with Iran. We\u2019re now five months in, and the U.S. troop toll has surpassed that of the withdrawal from Afghanistan. Given that, at what point are you willing to put an AUMF on the floor, or vote for a War Powers Act resolution to try and remove it?\u201d asked an off-camera reporter.<\/p>\n
