Janice Schakowsky: “The American people are watching. We cannot shy away from our responsibility.”

Iran should never be permitted to have a nuclear weapon.

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.

We must return to diplomacy, uphold Congress’s authority, and prioritize the safety of U.S. service members and civilians above all else.
