Democrat moves to prevent Trump from striking Iran without congressional approval [Tim Kaine]
The Hill ^ | 6/16/2025 | Sarah Fortinsky

Posted on 06/17/2025 10:35:33 AM PDT by simpson96

Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) introduced a resolution Monday seeking to prevent the U.S. from getting involved in a military conflict with Iran without congressional approval.

The resolution reaffirms existing law, directing the president to end any use of the U.S. armed forces “for hostilities” against Iran “unless explicitly authorized by a declaration of war or specific authorization for use of military force against Iran.”

The resolution expresses concern about the potential for U.S. involvement in the escalating military crisis between Iran and Israel, but it specifies that the U.S. can still defend itself “from imminent attack.”

“It is not in our national security interest to get into a war with Iran unless that war is absolutely necessary to defend the United States,” Kaine, who sits on the Senate Armed Services and Foreign Relations committees, said in a statement.

“I am deeply concerned that the recent escalation of hostilities between Israel and Iran could quickly pull the United States into another endless conflict,” he continued. “The American people have no interest in sending servicemembers to fight another forever war in the Middle East.”

“This resolution will ensure that if we decide to place our nation’s men and women in uniform into harm’s way, we will have a debate and vote on it in Congress,” the Democratic senator added.

The resolution is privileged, so the Republican-controlled Senate cannot block it from consideration or a vote.

I bet the DEMs get multiple judges to back them on this.

Virginia has a lot of moose-limbs... Kaine’s main concern is the $$$ flowing into democrat campaign war chests and other related pockets.

The rodents are always looking for ways to help America’s enemies.
They are quislings to the core.

Won’t fly.

IMO Trump has the already Congress-passed and signed into law War Powers Act and the AUMF (War on Terror).

Pure grandstanding, bless his heart.

Surprised they have’t found a judge to order that our USAF tankers and fighter aircraft turn around or land immediately and that the Nimitz drop anchor

Tiny Timmy #1. What is it with the Timmy’s that make them want to be the VPOTUS for skanky, liberal broads with hairy chests and underarms. If a broad ever does get elected president, she will be the first woman who ran without a VP White Dude named Timmy and won.

Virginia has a lot of moose-limbs... Kaine’s main concern is the $$$ flowing into democrat campaign war chests and other related pockets. That goes for “migrant workers and asylum seekers” as well.

A bit tight lipped on Obama sending money bombs into Iran?
These clowns don’t realize how pathetically inept they are.

Send Timmy to Iran to negotiate a “peaceful end” to their conflict with Israel!
