A Hollow Victory and a Constitutional Abdication: The House's Iran War Vote and the Erosion of Democracy
The House of Representatives narrowly passed a resolution to halt U.S. military action in Iran, sending a second warning to President Trump as the unpopular, costly conflict escalates without a clear end goal. This is a gut-wrenching abdication of constitutional duty, where lawmakers are ceding their sacred war-making powers to a President prosecuting a conflict the American people have clearly rejected, betraying the sacrifice of our service members and the very principles of democratic accountability.
