Donald Trump chose war with Iran. No strategy. No vote in Congress. No support from the American people. This wasn’t his choice to make. Congress must vote “yes” on Senator Kaine’s War Powers Resolution.

Article I Section 8 of the Constitution makes clear that Congress, and ONLY Congress, has the power to declare war. Trump decided to go to war with Iran exclusively on his own, and we are all paying the price.

No congressional authorization = no legal war. The Constitution is clear. The Framers had Congress decide on war to protect Americans and force the President to be answerable to the public.

Elizabeth Warren: "I am a hard no on a supplemental. This is not a war the American people want us to engage in. This is not a war that makes us safer ... No. No more money. The only thing Congress has the power to do is to stop actions like this through the power of the purse."

The Constitution is clear – Congress, not the President, has the power to declare war. Senator Tim Kaine’s resolution offers every member of Congress an opportunity to stand up for the Constitution, American service members, and America’s strategic interests.

Under our Constitution, the power to declare war belongs with the elected representatives of the people in Congress—not with any one man, no matter how wise or foolish, no matter how far-seeing or desperate he may be.

Trump is bypassing the Constitution again to wage war with Iran. Only Congress has the power to declare war. He must come before us. No President is above the law! We won’t stop fighting to end this illegal war and prevent another never-ending conflict.

We all agree Iran should not have a nuclear weapon. But that does not mean the Constitution should be a casualty because someone wants to take a shortcut to war. Our oath is to defend the Constitution—and it gives Congress the power to declare war.

Here is the great Constitution law professor and Congressman Jamie Raskin explaining to Americans only the members of Congress, on behalf of the people, have the right to declare war. The madman in the Oval Office has no power to declare war. No president, even sane ones, have that power. It is written in the Constitution. #DemsUnited

The Constitution is crystal clear: the president does not have the authority to go to war with Iran without approval by Congress. I strongly support bipartisan efforts to prevent Trump from unilaterally dragging us into another war in the Middle East.

Trump ripped up the Iran nuclear deal and created this mess. Now, he's putting servicemembers in harm's way with no clear plan and no Congressional approval. The American people deserve answers — and Congress needs to do its job.

Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution says that “The Congress shall have power to declare war.” The decision whether to unleash the dogs of war should not be made by this president alone, or by any other president acting without the consent of Congress and the American people. Against a malign power like Iran, or any other country.

Let's be clear: our Constitution doesn't allow a President to start a war on their own. The American people through the Congress decide whether or not we send Americans into the hell of war.

I’ve been consistent across presidents: only Congress has the power to declare war. Whether it’s Venezuela, Libya, or anywhere else, decisions of war shouldn’t be left to one person. Our Constitution is clear on that.
