Trump reposts Mark Levin defense of presidential war powers
US President Donald Trump on Monday shared on Truth Social a statement by conservative commentator Mark Levin originally published on X on March 4, in which Levin defended expansive presidential war powers and criticized the 1973 War Powers Act.
Levin argued that no US president has accepted the law’s constitutionality, saying it has been treated as a violation of the separation of powers. He also said Congress uses the act as a political tool depending on which party holds the White House, and pointed to the Constitution’s distinction between Congress’s power to “declare” war and the president’s role as commander-in-chief.
