An increasing number of Americans want Joe Biden to encourage Israel to stop military actions in Gaza; and Mr. Biden’s handling of the situation is now down to its lowest levels yet.

In the poll, conducted before Iran’s drone and missile attack on Israel, there wasn’t much clamor among the U.S. public for U.S. military action against Iran, were Iran to strike Israel. More would instead have the U.S. support Israel’s next actions.

    Yeah I get that they can’t use that authority anymore. But the President has broad authority to move military assets around. They very much could send the shells to a NATO base on the border and just look the other way when the Ukrainians walk them over the border. It would take longer than his next term (if he wins) for the courts to figure out where war powers end and where congressional export authority begins.
