Some lawmakers are also angry that the president allocated this money in the first place.

He did it unilaterally, even though it is, of course, Congress's job to decide how taxpayer dollars are spent.

Right.

Folks might remember the Senate actually advanced a measure that would force an end to the conflict, which is driving up the cost of living and very unpopular among the American public.

In part, that's because the president keeps making enemies of Senate Republicans.

Trump backed a primary opponent against Louisiana's Bill Cassidy.

And after Cassidy lost his reelection race, he joined with Democrats in their effort to force an end to the war.

The House of Representatives actually delayed a vote on a Democratic War Powers resolution after it looked like Republican absences meant it would have passed.

But all of this, of course, is mostly symbolic.

The president can veto any of these resolutions that reach his desk.

But I should also say the Constitution does give Congress the power to declare war and regulate military conflicts.

And Trump is legally required to get their approval in order to continue his war.

That has not happened.

You know, that's a good guess.

For one, the president's GOP lawmaker enemies list continues to swell.

He pushed out not just Cassidy, but also Senator John Cornyn, Representative Thomas Massey out of their seats.

So for Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, who has effectively a one-vote majority because of what we're told is a long-term medical absence among one of his members, that means Massey could decide to sink any vote he chooses.

And as we move out of primary races, where party voters matter the most, and into general election season, where all voters matter, midterm headwinds are only going to blow stronger.

There are so few races, though, that are actually competitive—maybe 25—

But with majorities this narrow, you only need a few seats to flip for Capitol Hill to just be turned upside down.
