The Constitution is clear: No president can go to war without a vote in Congress. Period.
Donald Trump's reckless bombing of Iran without Congressional approval is a violation of the Constitution that is risking innocent lives. This is a dangerous and reckless escalation. We need peace — not a deadly, endless war.
Congress must act immediately to rein in Trump. I’ve joined my colleagues on a resolution to reassert Congress’ war power authority and prevent an unauthorized war with Iran.
Whether you’re part of a military family or just a neighbor of good conscience calling for peace, I know many of us are losing sleep over this and rightfully so. The House and the Senate are heading back to Washington and I’m calling on Congress to immediately vote on our resolution and block Trump’s war.
