Episode notes
War Powers Act 60 Day Deadline Explained
- The War Powers Act forces a 60-day clock after the president notifies Congress, limiting sustained offensive operations without authorization.
- The White House argues the clock paused at the ceasefire on April 8, creating legal room to continue limited actions without fresh authorization.
Why Gas Prices Jumped This Week
- Gas prices rose to a national average near $4.30 because Iran removed much oil from the global market and a major Midwest refinery went offline.
- The Indiana refinery outage caused sudden regional price spikes on top of war-driven global supply reductions.
Plan For Prolonged Higher Fuel Costs
- Expect elevated fuel prices through summer and fall, not an immediate plunge once fighting ends.
- Energy experts tell Mosheh elevated prices persist despite a future end to hostilities due to tightened markets and refinery issues.
