Alsobrooks Statement on President Trump Starting A War

February 28, 2026

WASHINGTON, DC — Senator Alsobrooks (D-Md.) released the following statement:

“The President said he would end wars — not start them. He lied.

“The President said he obliterated the Iranian nuclear program. He lied.

“The American people have no reason to trust this man with the lives of our sons and daughters.

“The Constitution is clear: ‘The Congress shall have Power…To declare War.’ Senators who still believe in the Constitution should join me in demanding we return to Washington today and vote on Senator Kaine’s War Powers Resolution. 

“Those who don’t will make it clear once and for all that they no longer recognize the authority of Congress to declare war. And history will record that when the Constitution was cast aside, they did not stand in its defense — they stood in its way.”
