WASHINGTON, DC – Tonight, Senator Angela Alsobrooks (D-Md.) voted yes on Senator Tim Kaine’s (D-Va.) War Powers Resolution. The resolution failed 47-53.
“Last week’s dramatic escalation by President Trump put American servicemembers and the American citizenry at risk. What yesterday’s briefing confirmed was that this action, contrary to the President’s bluster, only delayed Iran’s nuclear goals by mere months. As this Administration continues to flail about on the international stage, it is important to remind everyone that by law, only Congress has the power to declare war. Full stop.”
