Stanton Statement on War Powers Resolution

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Representative Greg Stanton (AZ-04) issued the following statement: “Donald Trump launched this war of choice without congressional authorization, without clear objectives or an exit strategy, and without the support of the American people. This is why the Founders were explicit: the power to take this nation to war belongs to Congress, not one person. Congressional Republicans continue to allow an erratic narcissist to operate without any meaningful accountability or oversight. Once again they’ve refused to rein in Trump, and it’s having deadly consequences. With the expiration of the ceasefire days away, Congress should be pulling us back from the edge. Today, Republicans chose to push us closer to it.”
