While  Article II, Section 2  of the Constitution spells out that “the President shall be commander in chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the militia of the several states,” only Congress  has the power to declare war , as an enumerated power under Article I, Section 8, Clause 11. What Is the War Powers Resolution? The resolution requires “in the absence of a declaration of war” that a president report to Congress within 48 hours after introducing United States military forces into hostilities, which must end within 60 days unless Congress permits otherwise. “The President in every possible instance shall consult with Congress before introducing United States Armed Forces into hostilities or into situations where imminent involvement in hostilities is clearly indicated by the circumstances, and after every such introduction shall consult regularly with the Congress until United States Armed Forces are no longer engaged in hostilities or have been remo...

CIA Director John Ratcliffe has said in closed-door meetings that Iran is viewed as being very close to possessing nuclear weapons, a senior Trump administration official told NBC News.  That conclusion which has not changed since March, when Tulsi Gabbord testified that Iran had accrued a large amount of enriched uranium, but had still not decided to build a nuclear weapon. Trump and Ratcliffe — and, notably, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu — have been framing the same intelligence, however, to argue the situation is much more urgent and that time is running out to prevent Iran from securing a nuclear weapon.  The International Atomic Energy Agency and U.S. officials have said that Iran has enough enriched uranium to make up to 10 bombs, but it would then take months to more than a year to build the weapon itself.

  Coffee is infinitely customizable. For those who love their coffee cold, cold brew pots are a fairly inexpensive investment. Cold brew is a little like tea. Coffee grounds steep in water. And just like loose leaf tea, if you don’t have a cold brew pot you aren’t out of luck. You can always stir together the grounds and water, leave it to sit and then strain out the grounds using a strainer or cotton cloth. There is no perfect type of coffee for cold brew, so use what you love. If that’s a light roast, go with a light roast. If you want something darker, go for a dark roast. Notes The longer you steep the stronger the coffee is so once you reach your desired strength make sure to pull out the grounds otherwise you might not love your creation anymore. Ingredients 4 3/4 cups  cold filtered water 12 tablespoons  coarsely ground coffee Directions Grind to or purchase coffee ground to a coarse texture. Place grounds in steeping vessel or directly int...
