GREGG JARRETT: Democrat war powers vote was an unconstitutional way to halt Iran strikes

The Senate on March 4 wisely rejected a new war powers resolution aimed at halting or restricting President Donald Trump’s ability to carry out further military strikes against Iran. A House version also failed.

The resolution, supported by nearly all Democrats, was defective for several reasons.
