ICYMI: House Democrats Defended Congress’s War Powers

Hi friend,

In case you missed it, House Democrats just scored an important victory for accountability, constitutional checks and balances, and the rule of law.

The U.S. House passed a war powers resolution requiring Donald Trump to either seek congressional authorization for continued military action in Iran or withdraw U.S. forces. After repeated attempts, Democrats built enough support to advance the measure, with several Republicans joining them to defend Congress’s constitutional role.

This vote sends a powerful message: decisions about war and peace should not rest in the hands of one person alone. The Constitution gives Congress the responsibility to authorize military conflicts so the American people have a voice before our nation becomes entangled in prolonged wars.

👉 Add your name to applaud the House Democrats fighting for accountability, constitutional government, and the American people’s right to have a say before our nation goes to war.

Thank you for standing with us!

In solidarity,
