Rep. Jim Himes, a Connecticut Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, said Congress was notified of U.S. strikes on Iran only hours before they occurred, though he acknowledged the constitutional requirement for congressional authorization was not met. Himes stated Democrats will attempt to pass a War Powers Resolution to halt hostilities pending congressional debate, though he predicted Republicans would likely table the measure.
