Explainer: Did Biden break the law by ordering Yemen airstrikes?

WASHINGTON — Some members of the U.S. Congress have charged that President Joe Biden violated the Constitution by authorizing overnight strikes on Yemen.

But provisions in U.S. law give the White House the authority to launch limited foreign military action, experts say.

"There's not actually a strong case to prevent Biden from this kind of action," said Michael O'Hanlon, director of research in foreign policy at the Brookings Institution.
