Monitor whether Congress receives formal War Powers notification and timeline documentation for the Iran conflict, and track if the 'peace proposal review' produces any actual diplomatic engagement or remains rhetorical.
This scores as List B (distraction-dominant) despite moderate constitutional concerns. The separation of powers issue (claiming war ended before 60-day War Powers limit to avoid Congress) and rule of law concerns (naval blockade enforcement, vessel seizures) generate A=33. However, the massive media volume around 'reviewing proposals' with minimal substantive policy change, combined with strategic timing during the court-defiance scandal and classic foreign-policy-pivot playbook, produces B=61. The D=-28 margin indicates distraction dominance.
