I found it frustratingly hard to gain co-sponsors for what should be constitutionally obvious, which is the president can’t engage in acts of war without authorization from Congress.

I try to get along with my colleagues, but I sure want to get along with the president.

I talked to the speaker [Mike Johnson] on the [House] floor just now and told him we wouldn’t push it if the cease-fire holds, so it’s really in their court.

Ask Mike Pence about his last month.

In some sense, I have the Trump antibodies.

If they would just quit hitting me, I might get bored and give up, but I am not going to lose. I do not lose.

It should have been declarations of war, but at least they did an Authorization of Use of Military Force.

There was no imminent threat to the United States, which was what would authorize that. And I think that’s peculiar to hear that from the speaker of the House.

While President Trump’s decision may prove just, it’s hard to conceive a rationale that’s Constitutional.

We were tired of endless wars in the Middle East, and tired of wars in Eastern Europe.

This is not constitutional.

There are still voices in this administration—you’ve still got JD Vance, Tulsi Gabbard, RFK Jr—you’ve still got calmer heads that could prevail.

We should have debated this war powers resolution that Ro Khanna and I offered.

This is not Constitutional.

This is not our war. But if it were, Congress must decide such matters according to our Constitution.

The Constitution does not permit the executive branch to unilaterally commit an act of war against a sovereign nation that hasn’t attacked the United States.

This is not America First folks.

This is not constitutional.
