“I thank the chairman for shepherding this important resolution to the floor. Today, Yemen is the worst humanitarian crisis on the planet. Eighty- five thousand children under the age of 5 have died of starvation since 2015, and 150 children die every single day. The U.S., alongside Saudi Arabia, which has used starvation as a weapon of war, has supported targeting for deadly airstrikes, provided logistical support and refueling, and sent Special Operations Forces to the Yemeni border. It is time for these activities to end, absent congressional consent. The American people deserve a transparent debate and a vote by Congress, per Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution, before the U.S. engages in war-making. While the President is tweeting about wars and nuclear bombs, we must reassert our authority and end the unconstitutional U.S. participation in Yemen's civil war. Mr. Chairman, I urge all my colleagues to vote in favor of this resolution. Mr. McCAUL. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1 minute to the distinguished gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Davidson).”
