We are at war once again without Congressional authorization The constitution gives Congress alone the power to declare war. That power was placed in our hands by our founders, not by accident, but by design. Adam Schiff

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.

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.

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.

Donald Trump pulled the U.S. into a reckless war with Iran. No authorization from Congress, no clear goals, no exit strategy. The Constitution gives the power to declare war to Congress, not one person. The American people deserve answers. Via Elizabeth Warren

I brought a pocket Constitution to the Senate floor to give Congressional Republicans a civics lesson. Only Congress, not the President, has the power to declare war.

Schiff: The founders gave us the power to declare war or to refuse to do so. If we don’t use that power to bring an end to this war, if we don’t use that power to insist that Congress play its role in our system of checks and balances, that power is gone for good—and that is dangerous for this country, because it means presidents will make war on a whim, as it appears this president has done.

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.

We need a new War Powers Act. The Constitution grants Congress the sole authority to declare war. That authority has been usurped by the presidency. No more forever wars.

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.

The original draft gave Congress the power to “make war,” but the delegates deliberately changed it to “declare war.” Why? Because they believed Congress was too slow and too divided to conduct military decisions. The result: Congress can declare war and control funding, but the President — elected by the entire nation — serves as Commander-in-Chief and directs military action. I break down the historical record, the debates among the Founders, and why modern claims about the War Powers Act and presidential authority often ignore the Constitution’s original design.

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

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.

Graham: The War Powers Act was passed in 1973 by a bunch of liberal Democrats. It's a power grab by the congress against the commander in chief. Every president has rejected the idea that congress can substitute our judgment for theirs. This is an unconstitutional power grab. To my colleagues, you're doing a lot of damage. You're emboldening our enemies. Stop it.

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.
