BREAKING: The House of Representatives passes a War Powers resolution aimed at limiting President Donald Trump’s ability to take military action against Iran.
of Virginia, could be voted on as early as next week and Trump was almost certain to veto any attempt to restrict his war-fighting powers.that a debate on war powers empowers Iran as"completely foolish," saying"America and the world cannot afford war" and that the measure would"protect American lives and values."
Pelosi said the House is advancing what's called a"concurrent resolution" because it does not require the signature of the president of the United States. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy told reporters he believes a concurrent resolution is"meaningless" and akin to inviting the soap box derby to hold an event at the Capitol.
"Unfortunately, today's War Powers Resolution is a non-binding resolution that simply restates existing law and sends the message that war is imminent. I refuse to play politics with questions of war and peace and therefore will not support this resolution." President Donald Trump delivers remarks on proposed changes to the National Environmental Policy Act, at the White House, Jan. 9, 2020.
"We must avoid war," Pelosi said."And the cavalier attitude of this administration, it's stunning. The president will say, ‘I inform you by reading my tweets.' No, that's not the relationship that our founders had in mind in the constitution of the United States when they gave power to the White House to do one thing in terms of our national security and to the Congress to declare war and to allocate resources and the rest.
