Republicans in Congress who have so far refused to call top Trump administration officials to testify about the war in Iran have scheduled a budget hearing with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth for late April, his first public testimony since the start of the attacks.
The April 29 hearing, which is to include Gen. Dan Caine, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, falls exactly 60 days after President Trump began the offensive, the end of the period during which the law allows a president to deploy forces into hostilities without congressional authorization.

Republicans have robustly supported the attacks as necessary and legal, but some have suggested they would expect the administration to seek congressional authorization if the war dragged past the 60-day mark.
