On Monday, June 16, Senator Tim
Kaine (D-VA) introduced legislation, a War Powers Resolution, to prevent
President Trump from using military force against Iran without Congressional
authorization. This will force all Senators to go on record supporting or
opposing the following: “Congress hereby directs the President to terminate the
use of United States Armed Forces for hostilities against the Islamic Republic
of Iran or any part of its government or military, unless explicitly authorized
by a declaration of war or specific authorization for use of military force
against Iran.”
