Dear Adam, hello, and thank you for making this video for us. I see you as an expert by law and/or by experience in "how it should be.". Meanwhile I noticed a news broadcast this weekend on one of the major networks: I guess their fearless leader, DJT, was working overtime Saturday, not wanting to talk to anyone about Iran but focused on helping American Veterans to obtain hallucinogens as part of their therapy. I guess they're just so peaceful when they're higher than a kite. Thank you for all you do, Adam. We like you very much.

Thank you for the explanation of the War Powers Act. The problem I see with trump getting the U.S. into a war with Iran is that there was no present danger. When there is no present danger is there a law that would require a president to go to congress for authorization? The only present danger I could see was the danger the Epstein files posed to trump.

No present danger, no goals for attacking, no awareness of Iranian resources or modern warfare, no concern about finances or lives lost, no plan on how to win...

Thank you. We are all on a learning curve: war power, oil shipping, the law of the seas, fertilizer. If nothing else we will all emerge out of this with the type of education schools failed to give us.

Adam, I always enjoy listening to you and frequently learn new things. Thank you. As I was watching this evening‘s Video Explainer, it occurred to me that you are at your best (my opinion) when you do this type of expository presentation. Your leadership abilities are on display and you are delivering important, well-organized and key information. I hope you will continue to do this type of video.

This was terrific, informational, and said to those who don’t know our government like you do. Thank you. Don’t give up your political career, it could be different going forward….

We fired on an Iranian freighter. Why? Because Trump's done being a "good guy?

I'm worry, Adam, but this is really no way to be fighting. These aren't even military people they're firing on when they ignored their warning. It's supposed to be a cease fire... was that called off? Apparently it has now.

I understand how much you want to contain Iran, but this seems like its purpose is to flex muscles and indiscriminately kill when possible. And more civilians die. What did they do with the remaining crew when they captured the ship after they blew a whole clean through the engine room, stopping them dead in their tracks? (Trump's Truth Social words.).

Thanks Adam for the clarification.

Thank you for clearly explaining how unclear this resolution really is.

Adam...are you planning to run for office again? Please do. Not that you are not a great educator, but we need your clear thinking and devotion to the constitution running the country.

Thank you so much for this clear explanation! Wish you’d run for president someday.
