The president's escalating hostilities against Iran are extremely concerning and could needlessly drag the United States into a devastating conflict. This unilateral military action lacks congressional authorization as mandated by the Constitution. I strongly urge you to support Senator Kaine's war powers resolution to reassert Congress's sole authority to declare war and prevent an unconstitutional war with Iran. The resolution ensures there is an open and transparent debate before any offensive military force is used against Iran. Averting another destructive, endless war in the Middle East that compromises our national security interests should be a top priority. The American people deserve a voice through their elected representatives on matters of war and peace. Please uphold your constitutional duty by supporting this crucial legislation.
