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.

Maduro was not a legitimate president of Venezuela. It’s a good thing he’s gone. But it matters how we go about this. Our Constitution and the War Powers Act require the president to come before Congress and get authorization to use force. President Trump has not done that.

AOC: President Trump—I want to be clear—not only threatened genocide, he is continuing to threaten genocide against the Iranian people. That is his main point of “leverage” in this situation. It is a war crime. It is abhorrent, and it is also illegal. Our presence right now is a crime. I personally believe it’s impeachable. But putting all of that aside, it’s a crime. No president is authorized by the Constitution of the United States to go to war without the authorization of Congress. Period. And acting on any of these threats would also be a crime.

I’m setting the record straight on the War Powers Act, the Constitution, and the President’s authority as Commander-in-Chief. Politicians keep claiming the President must ask Congress before acting in a military crisis — but the Constitution says otherwise. Congress can declare war, but the President commands the military and protects the nation. In the middle of a major campaign against a dangerous regime, some in Washington are trying to weaponize the War Powers Act to block the Commander-in-Chief. I explain why presidents from both parties have rejected it, why the Supreme Court has never ruled on it, and why this debate matters for national security, constitutional authority, and America’s leadership in the world.

In the middle of a major military campaign, critics claim the president must first ask permission from Congress. I explain why that claim is misleading — and why presidents from both parties have rejected the War Powers Act as unconstitutional. I break down the constitutional truth about presidential war powers and why politicians keep using the War Powers Act of 1973 to attack the Commander-in-Chief. The Constitution gives Congress the power to declare war, but it gives the president the authority to command the military and protect the country.

Cory Booker gets owned by Jake Tapper for being a hypocrite: Booker: "Republicans time and time again don't do their constitutional duty of checks and balances, oversight. What they do do, though, is just lean over—an advanced form of yoga—bending over backwards to do whatever the President wants." Tapper: "Yeah, Presidents on the both sides of the aisle have authorized serious military operations without seeking the authorization of Congress...The actual last time that Congress declared war was World War II." Booker: "Right." Tapper: "Korea was a police action, Vietnam was a conflict. President Obama didn't seek authorization before engaging in military action in Libya in 2011."

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.

Trump's illegal military strikes in Venezuela aren't about drugs. They are about regime change. But we must be clear - only Congress has the authority to declare war. Not the president. We must pass our War Powers Resolution and re-establish Congress's power.

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.

"Under the War Powers Act of 1973, the administration must notify Congress within 48 hours of introducing troops into a conflict. Secretary of State Rubio did that," Congressional correspondent Lisa Desjardins said. "Now, the War Powers Act also says that presidents can only continue that conflict for 60 to 90 days. However, most presidents have ignored the War Powers Act," Desjardins added.

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.
