I am writing to seek clarification and hold you accountable on a matter of urgent national importance.
My understanding, based on verified news reporting, is that the President of the United States has launched a major military offensive against Iran — a sovereign nation — without clear authorization from Congress, despite the constitutional requirement that only Congress may declare war. Reports also indicate that three U.S. service members have been killed and many others seriously wounded in this conflict. In a Pentagon briefing, it was stated that there was no concrete intelligence showing Iran intended an imminent attack on U.S. forces prior to these strikes. Meanwhile, while he managed to star a war, the President was been attending high-dollar fundraising events at his private club. He’s partying with the wealthy elite while sending out Troops to die. Did I get that correct?
I respectfully request that you confirm whether this understanding is correct, and specifically:
1. Has Congress formally authorized the current military campaign against Iran?
2. If not, what actions are you taking — or plan to take — to fulfill your constitutional responsibilities under Article I of the U.S. Constitution and the War Powers Resolution?
3. What is the current status of U.S. military personnel in the region, and what mechanisms are in place to protect them and prevent further escalation?
The American people deserve clear, transparent leadership and accountability on matters of war and peace. I look forward to your prompt response.
