Congress Must Hold Trump Accountable for Unconstitutional Strikes on Iran


Congress Must Hold Trump Accountable for Unconstitutional Strikes on Iran
The Issue
Enough is enough. President Trump has once again acted like he’s above the law, bombing Iran without approval from Congress and dragging us closer to war. This is not leadership. It’s dictatorship.
The Constitution is clear: only Congress can declare war. But Trump didn’t ask. He didn’t wait. He just gave the order and bragged about it, while lawmakers across both parties raised alarms about the legality of his actions.
He’s risking American lives, escalating global conflict, and ignoring our laws to boost his ego.
Even some Republicans are calling this unconstitutional. Members of Congress—including Tim Kaine, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Thomas Massie, and others—are sounding the alarm. Now Congress must act.
We demand:
- An immediate vote on Senator Kaine’s resolution to block unauthorized military action
- Full enforcement of the War Powers Resolution
- Accountability for any illegal military orders—up to and including impeachment
If Congress fails to act now, what’s stopping him from doing it again? Or worse?
Add your name to demand Congress defend our Constitution and stop Trump from taking us to war without a vote.
