   To avoid having to justify its actions to Congress, The Trump administration falsely claims Congress had already authorized the strike under the 2002 Iraq war resolution.

To suggest that 18 years later this authorization could justify killing an Iranian official stretches the law far beyond anything Congress ever intended.
