Trump administration claims Iran ceasefire pauses War Powers Act 60-day deadline as Congress recesses
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth testified before the Senate Armed Services Committee on Thursday that the ongoing ceasefire with Iran pauses or stops the 60-day War Powers Resolution deadline, which expires Friday May 1. President Trump separately notified Congress that hostilities with Iran have 'terminated,' a claim Democratic lawmakers and legal experts dispute, arguing the statute contains no provision for pausing once the deadline has begun. Congress departed on a week-long recess without voting to authorize or end the conflict.
