- **Published:** 2026-03-08

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1849-hose-water/chapter/marco-rubio-article-51-and-war-powers-resolution.md

Senator Marco Rubio defends the U.S. military operations as a preemptive defense against Iranian ballistic missiles. Adam Curry, citing a constitutional lawyer, explains that by framing the action as a response to an imminent threat following an Israeli strike, the administration utilized Article 51 of the UN Charter. This legal maneuver allows the President to bypass the War Powers Resolution and maintain control over the military timeline without Congressional interference.
