TL;DR Summary

A bipartisan group of senators, led by Sen. Tim Kaine, is questioning President Biden's legal authority to conduct military strikes against Yemen's Houthi rebels without congressional authorization. The senators argue that the strikes, in response to Houthi attacks on commercial ships in the Red Sea, have gone beyond self-defense and require careful deliberation by Congress before authorizing offensive military action. The Biden administration has defended the strikes as necessary to protect U.S. personnel and assets, but lawmakers are raising concerns about the lack of congressional approval for the sustained campaign.
