comedyMay 5, 202620167

On the new Daily Show, Jon Stewart skewered President Trump for ignoring the 60-day War Powers Act deadline tied to Iran. Stewart faulted the administration for sidestepping statutory congressional oversight and questioned its public rationale, including claims about depleted U.S. weapons inventories. The segment also noted King Charles urging Congress to "do its job" on military-authority checks. Stewart warned that Congress’s failure to act hands the president unilateral authority over potential military action, making War Powers oversight a live constitutional issue.
