Figures Issues Statement on Bipartisan War Powers Resolution

March 5, 2026 Press Release WASHINGTON – Today, Congressman Shomari C. Figures (AL-02) issued the following statement after voting to support the bipartisan War Powers Resolution that would have restricted further military action against Iran without congressional approval: “President Trump started a war with Iran without congressional approval and without a plan to address the fallout. American soldiers have already tragically died. Congress has a responsibility to ensure that the President does not force us further into this conflict, with no clear objective or timeline, resulting in the loss of more American troops.” ### Issues : Congress Veterans
