Congress handed the president the power to start a war so they could avoid accountability at the ballot box. That is not statesmanship. That is cowardice. The Constitution is clear. War must be declared by Congress, not announced in an 8-minute video at 2:30am. @FoxNews https://t.co/68K8yEou2E

NEWS FLASH: In a democracy, we don’t allow one guy to take the entire country to war based on an “opinion.” That’s what the kings we were breaking from used to do. The Constitution requires Congress to debate and authorize any use of military force — so we can consider the evidence and the grave consequences of putting our troops at risk.

There’s a debate over the legality of the actions against Iran but the law is clear. While it appears intense, this is in fact a limited action, not an occupation, and not an open-ended war. The law is clear, and the President is operating within it. Good operational strategy is also clear: don’t show hesitation mid-swing. What we absolutely cannot have right now are political roadblocks that weaken our position mid-operation. When American troops are in harm’s way, the last thing we should do is signal hesitation or division to our adversaries.
