Friendly reminder: only Congress can declare war. Trump ordered a strike on a retreating boat in the Caribbean without Congressional approval. My War Powers Resolution will get answers and reassert Congress’s constitutional role.

The Trump Administration launched a military escalation in the Caribbean without ANY legal authority and without approval from Congress. I’m introducing a War Powers resolution to terminate hostilities against Venezuela and reassert Congress's constitutional role.

Trump has launched an unnecessary, idiotic, and illegal war against Iran that puts America’s servicemembers and embassy personnel at risk. I’m calling on Congress to immediately return to vote on my War Powers Resolution that blocks war with Iran without congressional approval.

Trump’s attacks on Iran are both illegal and unconstitutional. Congress alone has the constitutional authority to declare war. We must vote urgently on the War Powers resolution.

U.S. CONSTITUTION FAILS TO STOP WAR ON IRAN 🇺🇸🇮🇷 Senate Votes to BLOCK Trump on Iran War Powers The U.S. Senate passed a resolution 50 to 47 requiring congressional approval before any military action is taken against Iran, with a handful of Republicans breaking ranks to hand Trump a rare bipartisan rebuke. The vote invokes the War Powers Resolution of 1973, which limits the president's ability to commit U.S. forces to armed conflict without congressional authorization. Congress has the declaration, but not the enforcement. It still needs to pass in the House and Trump can VETO it. This is where out CHECKS and BALANCES system FAILS.

Trump’s strike on Iran was a fundamental undermining of Congress’s Constitutional Article I powers. We must reclaim that authority, hold this administration accountable, and pass the War Powers Act immediately.

Donald Trump just blew up another boat in the middle of the ocean with no legal justification. I'm drafting a resolution and forcing a vote to reclaim Congress’s power to declare war. Before Trump’s actions provoke one.

President Trump doesn't require Congressional approval in certain situations. He didn't declare war, ordered limited strike. She said one true thing: " I am not the expert on geopolitics" If you can't be bothered to educate yourself on a topic, then STFU

The House and the Senate will hold separate votes on a War Powers Resolution on Thursday, sponsored by Representatives Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie and Senators Tim Kaine and Rand Paul respectively. The War Powers Resolution seeks to halt President Donald Trump's war of aggression on Iran through the constitutional authority vested in Congress to authorize a war. So we sent our Capitol Hill correspondent Julian Andreone to the Capitol to ask members of Congress how they plan to vote on this resolution and why. Ryan Grim | Julian Andreone

House Republicans are abdicating the constitutional powers of Congress for the greater glory of Donald Trump. But only Congress can declare war, appropriate spending and create tariffs, not the president. To restore the rule of law and end MAGA chaos, we must reclaim these powers for the people.

My loyalty is to the Constitution, not any party. Article I gives Congress the power to declare war and control the purse. The executive cannot use military force or seize/spend Venezuelan assets without congressional approval. If our country wants war, Congress must vote.

Donald Trump is threatening the world—kidnapping Venezuela’s president and claiming the U.S. will “run” another country. This is reckless, illegal, and dangerous.

Massive constitutional crisis. The White House just admitted on live TV that they are fighting a major war in Iran WITHOUT Congressional approval. Trump is acting as a rogue dictator, bypassing the law to wage an illegal war of aggression. The hubris is staggering.
