In the wake of the "massive" strikes on Iran by the U.S. and Israel Saturday, members of Congress have begun weighing in -- with Democrats demanding answers -- and some calling for lawmakers to return to Washington to vote on resolutions that would check President Donald Trump's power to wage war.
Republicans have so far praised President Donald Trump's decision to undertake "massive combat operations" against Iran, with an eye towards liberating the Iranian people.
Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia is calling on the Senate to return to Washington immediately to vote on a war powers resolution to check the president's authority to wage war with Iran.
"Has President Trump learned nothing from decades of U.S. meddling in Iran and forever wars in the Middle East?" Kaine said in a statement.
"These strikes are a colossal mistake, and I pray they do not cost our sons and daughters in uniform and at embassies throughout the region their lives," he added.
"The Senate should immediately return to session and vote on my War Powers Resolution to block the use of U.S. forces in hostilities against Iran. Every single Senator needs to go on the record about this dangerous, unnecessary, and idiotic action," he said.
Huh, well that's typical....Congress relinquished their power to the executive so they would not have to do anything. Now since POTUS did something with the power they relinquished they want to whine about it.
