X community adds a context note to Cori Bush post: Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO) posted a response to an NBC News post that read "BREAKING: The U.S. and British militaries have launched strikes against targets in Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen, U.S. officials say." Bush's response read: ".@POTUS can’t launch airstrikes in Yemen without congressional approval. This is illegal and violates Article I of the Constitution. The people do not want more of our taxpayer dollars going to endless war and the killing of civilians. Stop the bombing and do better by us." The X community added a note to the post that read: "Readers added context they thought people might want to know. Congress has acknowledged the inherent executive power of the president to take military action in response to acts of terrorism in both the War Powers Resolution and the Joint Resolution passed by Congress on September 14, 2001 irp.fas.org/agency/doj/olc… law.cornell.edu/wex/war_powers."
