Senator Chuck Schumer is making it clear that he intends to end the war with Iran. He says some Republicans have already joined his effort to stop the fighting. The argument rests on the Founding Fathers' power of the purse, which was meant to deter presidents from waging war without the consent of the American people. Schumer also asked if defense funding would be used as leverage. Despite these statements, there is still the question of what actions President Trump will take before January. This analysis comes from Michael.
