The U.S. war with Iran hit the 60-day mark today (Friday, May 1) a legally significant threshold set by the 1973 War Powers Resolution. The Trump administration formally notified Congress of its military campaign on March 2, triggering the clock that expires today. Under the law, the president is required to terminate the use of force within 60 days unless Congress has declared war or authorized military force. The president can extend that period by an additional 30 days to withdraw U.S. forces, but that extension does not grant the White House authority to continue an offensive campaign. Congress has not authorized the war.
