Original Note:
Inaccurate. According to U.S. Code ยง 1543, the President has 48 hours to submit a report to the House and Senate setting forth reasons for military action. Further, the strike was against Houthi rebel sites in Yemen. Houthis have been at war with Yemen since 2014. https://www.britannica.com/topic/Houthi-movement https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/50/1543 https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2024/01/11/statement-from-president-joe-biden-on-coalition-strikes-in-houthi-controlled-areas-in-yemen/ https://www.npr.org/2024/01/10/1223906769/yemens-houthis-red-sea-attack-missiles-drones-us-navy-un-resolution
