I am writing to you as a constituent deeply concerned by recent actions taken by President Trump to initiate military force without prior authorization from Congress. The U.S. Constitution, Article I, Section 8, expressly grants the sole power to declare war to Congress. Unauthorized military action violates this fundamental check on executive power and risks dragging the United States into unnecessary conflicts. I urge you to take immediate, robust action to: 1. Assert Congressional Authority: Formally state that all military actions require Congressional approval, as highlighted by current congressional efforts to protect war powers. 2. Investigate and Act: Support investigations into unauthorized military strikes and pursue impeachment proceedings for violations of the Constitution. 3. Support Legal Limits: Back legislation such as the National Security Reform and Accountability Act to prevent the executive branch from bypassing Congress. As a citizen, I expect my representative to uphold their oath to defend the Constitution and prevent the illegal expansion of executive war-making powers. I look forward to your prompt response regarding your position on this critical issue.
