Greg steube (R-FL) has expressed skepticism regarding Congress&#8217;s willingness to restrict President Donald Trump&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/bipartisan-group-of-senators-seek-to-strip-biden-of-certain-war-powers\/\" title=\"Bipartisan Group Of Senators Seek To Strip Biden Of Certain War Powers\">war powers<\/a>, especially concerning the ongoing tensions with Iran. Following recent U.S. airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites,legislation aimed at limiting U.S. military involvement,such as the bipartisan War Powers Resolution,was in the works,but Steube believes that these efforts will not progress due to a lack of support in the house. he predicts that the Trump management will focus on monitoring Iran&#8217;s reactions, particularly any <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/intel-officials-warn-hezbollah-could-soon-strike-within-us-using-capability-other-terror-groups-dont-have\/\" title=\"Intel officials caution that Hezbollah possesses a unique capability that could enable them to launch an ... within the United States\">potential retaliatory actions<\/a> against U.S.forces. Other lawmakers, including Rep. Byron Donalds, echoed Steube&#8217;s sentiments, advising iran to pursue peaceful resolutions. Simultaneously occurring, Rep. thomas Massie has criticized the strikes, arguing there was no imminent threat, while some Senate Democrats, like Sen. Tim Kaine,foresee bipartisan support for measures to curb Trump&#8217;s military authority.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Greg Steube doubts any action by Congress to limit Trump&rsquo;s war powers<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2154736\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Rep.
