Legislators will decide whether they believe the strikes are in our national interest, an increased number of their constituents at the end of their rope with Israel because of Gaza; most of them completely oblivious to any ties to countries hit like Oman, for instance.

I'd guess lawmakers will be advantaged in seeking a resolution (at some point, more likely after the 60 day limit on presidential authority to commit troops expires) by the utter indifference of Americans to any stated need for this militarization and mobilization.
