X community adds a context note to Mario Nawfal post: Political commentator Mario Nawfal posted a response to a White House statement on the Houthi attacks, saying "STATMENT [sic] FROM DEMOCRATIC MEMBER OF US HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVE VALERIE HOWELL ON HOUTHI ATTACKS: 'These air strikes on Yemen were not authorized by Congress. The Constitution is clear that Congress is the only authority that allows military intervention in foreign conflicts. Every president must first come to Congress and request military authorization, regardless of which party he belongs.'" The X community added a note to the post that read: "Readers added context they thought people might want to know. The President has the power to use the armed forces in response to an attack on the armed forces. Houthis launched a missile attack against US and UK ships. The Congressional Authorization for Use of Military Force of 2001 is still in force. npr.org/2024/01/10/122… uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req…) govinfo.gov/content/pkg/PL…" The label is part of X’s Community Notes system.
