Janice Schakowsky: “Well, frankly, I think that idea is alive and well and was reflected in the elections on November 6----”

President Trump’s announcement of ‘major combat operations’ was not authorized by Congress, and I fully support a bipartisan War Powers resolution to reclaim our constitutional authority over matters of war.

The American people overwhelmingly do not want another war in the Middle East, and the last thing our country needs is to be drawn into a conflict that would cost lives and destabilize the region.

I fought for and continue to defend the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), which proved that diplomacy, not war, can constrain Iran’s nuclear program and keep Americans safe.

Trump’s dangerous rhetoric cannot be normalized. We must act immediately to hold this administration accountable and protect the American people.
