An Open Letter

To: Rep. Langworthy, Sen. Schumer, Sen. Gillibrand

From: A constituent in Bath, NY

June 22

Trump bypassed Congress to bomb Iran. You know this is wrong; you know it's illegal. Trump needed congressional approval to authorise a strike. There was no congressional approval; it has been reported that Trump spoke with some republicans but no democrats. None of this is okay. Congress has already shamefully - and contrary to the constitution- ceded appropriations power to Trump. Yes: you are breaking your oath to defend the constitution every time you tolerate an illegal cut to appropriated funding. Do you want to look on while the US becomes a dictatorship, while our rights and safety are stripped away and the constitution turns into a dead letter? It's way past time for you to do the duty that the constitution requires of you. Bombing Iran without congressional approval should be the red line when a feckless deliberative body decides to obey the law and defend the constitution. IMPEACH, CONVICT, REMOVE TRUMP NOW. This is not a partisan issue. It's about the rule of law
