Congress Declines Again To Rein in Trump's Iran War
The article frames congressional inaction through an anti-interventionist libertarian lens characteristic of Reason magazine. The headline's phrase 'Rein in Trump's Iran War' presupposes military action constitutes 'war' and frames Congress's failure to act as dereliction. The subheading uses charged, mocking language ('can't decide,' internal contradiction rhetoric) to delegitimize Republican positions rather than neutrally explain them. No direct quotes from Republican lawmakers or Trump administration officials are provided to represent their actual reasoning.

Framing may shift depending on whether military escalation continues, congressional votes occur, or legal challenges emerge regarding war powers authority.
