The United States and United Kingdom have carried out strikes against the Iranian-backed Houthis in Yemen — and Rep. Thomas Massie believes he knows why.

“You should look at it as this is election season, and when you’re at war, you know, there’s a greater tendency to vote for the commander in chief who’s waging the war,” Massie explains to Glenn Beck.

“And I am worried that he’s going to draw us into a war with this,” he adds.

Meanwhile, Biden didn’t fulfill what Massie believes was an obligation of his.

“He has an obligation to come to Congress, and I think he had time to do it. If he had time to organize an international coalition, or at least with Great Britain, to pull this off, he had time to come to us,” Massie says.

The War Powers Act requires Biden to do that, unless he is responding defensively in the case of an emergency.

“The War Powers Act is correct in a world where we have missiles. If somebody’s launching a missile, the president does not have time to go to Congress and say, ‘Hey I want to make my case here that in 12 minutes we’re all going to be vaporized,’” Glenn says.

However, as Massie said, it’s been over 90 days since this fighting has begun.

“The president has a responsibility to go in front of the American people and Congress and make his case; and Congress needs to decide,” Glenn says.

“You are absolutely correct,” Massie agrees.
