US Troops Are Dying While Trump Plays Golf - Make This Stop

I am writing to demand immediate answers and decisive action regarding the President’s decision to initiate military strikes against Iran without clear and lawful authorization from Congress. Under Article I of the Constitution, the power to declare war belongs to Congress — not the President. This is not a suggestion; it is a binding safeguard designed to prevent exactly this kind of unilateral escalation. Yet this administration has launched hostilities against a sovereign nation absent that authorization. This is a direct violation of the Constitution and a dangerous abuse of executive power. Even more alarming is that U.S. service members have already been killed and others seriously wounded as a result of this action. At the same time, Pentagon officials have reportedly acknowledged that there was no concrete intelligence showing an imminent threat from Iran prior to these strikes. If accurate, this means American lives have been put at risk — and lost — without necessity, without justification, and without the consent of the people’s representatives. Now, the consequences of this reckless escalation are rapidly expanding. Reports indicate severe disruptions and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz — one of the most critical global shipping lanes through which a significant portion of the world’s oil supply passes. Any sustained disruption in this corridor has immediate and far-reaching consequences: spikes in global energy prices, economic instability, supply chain shocks, and increased risk of a broader regional or even global conflict. This is not an abstract risk — it directly affects American families through higher gas prices, increased costs of goods, and economic uncertainty, all triggered by a conflict initiated without proper authority or planning. While troops are being sent into harm’s way and global markets are thrown into turmoil, the President has continued to attend high-dollar fundraising events and private engagements with wealthy donors. This contrast is indefensible. American service members are facing life-and-death consequences, and American families are bracing for economic fallout, while the Commander in Chief appears disengaged from the gravity of the crisis he has created. This is not leadership — it is negligence. Congress cannot remain passive in the face of this. Failure to act now is a failure to uphold your constitutional oath and to protect both American lives and economic stability. I demand clear, immediate answers to the following: 1. Has Congress formally authorized any current or ongoing military action against Iran? 2. If not, what specific actions are you taking right now to enforce Congress’s authority under Article I and the War Powers Resolution? 3. What is the current status of U.S. forces in the region, and what concrete steps are being taken to protect them and prevent further escalation? 4. What contingency plans are in place to address disruptions to the Strait of Hormuz and mitigate the economic impact on American families? 5. What oversight measures, hearings, or investigations will be initiated to determine how and why this military action was undertaken without authorization? This is not a theoretical debate. This is about war powers, constitutional order, global economic stability, and the lives of American service members. The American people deserve transparency and accountability. Our troops deserve leadership that treats their lives as more than expendable. And American families deserve protection from the avoidable economic consequences of an unauthorized war. Congress has a duty — not an option — to assert its authority and prevent this situation from spiraling further out of control. I expect a prompt and substantive response detailing exactly what actions you will take to uphold the Constitution, protect American lives, and stabilize the situation before it worsens further.
