After consistently fighting for it and with bipartisan support, we finally forced a vote to hold this administration accountable. We voted to end the unconstitutional, immoral war in Iran.
I'm proud to have voted to pass the War Powers Resolution and to demand an end to military action in the Middle East.
I've said from the very beginning that the Constitution is crystal clear: no president has the authority to declare war – that power lies only with Congress.
This vote is long overdue.
Our servicemen and women are being put in harm's way for an illegal war costing over $50 billion with no clear goal or end.
While families are struggling to pay rent, mortgage payments, groceries, and gas, this president and Republican leadership think they have a blank check of taxpayer dollars. We're putting a stop to it.
Republican leadership refused to do their constitutional duty and check a President who's gone too far. We need Democrats in Congress who will stand up, say no to war, and get to work on the issues that actually matter to working families: putting money back in your pocket instead of pouring it into another oil war.
No American wants an endless war in the Middle East.
I'm fighting to end this as quickly as possible.
