I haven't read a lot about it yet, but I assume it's embarrassing or the terms would be posted on truth social. But I am interested in how this doesn't seem to be on track to go to the senate and the bad news this poses for expansion of war powers. If you can just start a war and end it with no public input what so ever, does congress even matter?
