On Maria Bartiromo, I warned that regime change without Congress is presidential overreach. I have no love for Maduro, but the Constitution is clear: Congress decides when America goes to war.

Kaine: "It's clear that there is no congressional authorization for Trump's war against Iran ... It's unconstitutional for a president to initiate a war like this without Congress. Every member of Congress needs to vote on this."

Paul: I'm kind of old-fashioned, I like to obey this thing called the constitution. The constitution says that war only occurs when it is declared by congress. The president doesn't have the power to take the country to war.

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.

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.

“Our founder's intent is not a close call open to equivocation. Pundits argue that presidents have been ignoring this restriction for many decades. That is not an argument but more of an excuse. The Constitution is clear—only Congress can declare war.” Check out the full floor speech about how I plan to vote Yes on the upcoming war powers resolution 👇.

🚨REGIME CHANGE: Hakeem Jeffries says the ONLY regime change America needs is throwing MAGA extremists out of Congress in November. “The one regime change that we need to bring about is throw MAGA extremists out of the Congress.” 100 DAYS. Let’s end this nightmare.

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.

It is completely unacceptable that the Administration is unwilling to brief Congress on the strikes in Iran. We have to make sure this regime never acquires a nuclear weapon. At the same time, the Constitution means what it says. Only Congress has the power to declare war.

I spoke for the War Powers Resolution directing the President to remove armed forces from hostilities in Venezuela unless Congress authorizes it. When war-making power devolves to one person, liberty dissolves. Congress needs to vote before the President attempts regime change.

I taught constitutional law at West Point before serving overseas twice. Article I isn’t complicated: the authority to take this country to war belongs to Congress. No one should mourn the Iranian regime. But whether a regime is brutal is not the constitutional test for war. Eight months ago, the United States decimated Iran’s nuclear capabilities. There is no clear imminent threat to American lives that would traditionally justify a unilateral strike. Supporting our troops and insisting on following the Constitution are not contradictory. They are the same responsibility we all have as Americans. 🇺🇸

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.

I have introduced articles of impeachment against President Trump. When Trump ignores the Constitution, Congress, and the courts, he is not “fighting for America.” He is tearing it down and endangering our democracy.

I spent six years on the Foreign Affairs Committee and I don’t support Maduro or his regime—period. But this was wrong, full stop. Acting without Congressional authorization violates the Constitution and international law. That’s reckless, strongman behavior Donald Trump celebrates, and it puts America on a dangerous path. Texans expect better. Congress has a duty to act—and silence is not an option.

Senator Kaine and I don’t agree on everything; especially when it comes to government subsidies. But we both know regime change doesn’t work. History proves it. No president should drag us into war without Congress. Here’s our full discussion with Shannon Bream on Fox News Sunday.

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.
