Murphy: I would remind the president that he can't take any offensive action against Iran without coming to congress first. The constitution requires him to get an authorization of military force from congress. I don't think that he'll get that authorization from this congress, because there is opposition on both the Republican and Democratic side to the United States getting dragged into another potentially disastrous conflict in the Middle East.

Q: Is there any point you think Congress will need to give congressional authorization? MIKE JOHNSON: My understanding of the law is that the president is acting well within his authority. It's not a declaration of war. It's not required because it's defensive in design.

The President needs authorization from Congress to engage in these warlike actions. This is either a violation of the law of war or it’s murder. Trump is not prioritizing what Americans want.

There was no imminent threat to the homeland and no authorization from Congress. The president is on the wrong side of the War Powers Act.

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."

The Constitution is never a moot point. It’s a live point, and it makes clear that war powers belong to Congress. Presidents can only defend against attacks. That means President Trump must have Congress’s authorization before engaging in further military action in Venezuela.
