X community adds a context note to Rashida Tlaib post:  Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) posted ".@POTUS is violating Article I of the Constitution by carrying out airstrikes in Yemen without congressional approval. The American people are tired of endless war." X added a label to the post that read "Readers added context they thought people might want to know." The added context read, "This is incorrect. While only Congress may formally declare war, under 50 US §1543, the President may initiate limited military action without prior Congressional approval so long as he delivers a report to Congress within 48 hours of commencing the action." The label is part of X’s Community Notes system. X users are able to sign up as contributors to add context to posts. X owner Elon Musk recently shared that any post with a Community Note added to it will be demonetized. The Community Notes account on X also posted to explain that notices will now be pushed to users that previously engaged with a post about any Community Notes added to it after the engagement.
