Illegally? We're at war with Iran. They have consistently supported terrorism, they have an illegal nuclear program.

They're lucky it's still at this level.

What exactly is an "illegal" nuclear program?
Isn't that war illegal? Doesn't congress need to approve these things?

Speaking of terrorism, only one of the belligerents has been antagonizing both its allies and its enemies recently. Didn't they just snatch another country's head of state? Try a decapitation strike unprompted against Iran? Threaten to invade Canada, Greenland and Cuba? If one regime is using terror to achieve political aims these days...

No, Congress does not need to approve military action for it to be legal.
