Sen. Tom Udall (D, NM) Pres. Trump is bringing our nation to the brink of an illegal war with Iran without any congressional approval... Such a reckless escalation of hostilities is likely a violation of Congress’ war making authority – as well as basing agreement with Iraq. 1/
Udall, cont’d: putting U.S. forces and citizens in danger and very possibly sinking us into another disastrous war in the Middle East that the American people are not asking for and do not support. Congress must step in immediately to reclaim its Constitutional war powers. 2/
Udall, cont’d: “I urge members of Congress on both sides of the aisle to show courage on this issue, and I urge the Trump administration to change course and pursue diplomacy before we are entangled in yet another war in the Middle East with no end in sight.” 3/3
