WASHINGTON, DC – Congressman James E. Clyburn (SC-06) released the following statement via X on his vote for the Iran War Powers Resolution:
“I voted for the Iran war powers resolution because I believe the Constitution gives the power to declare war to Congress to avoid precisely this scenario: a misguided president putting American lives at risk in a military conflict without a clear national security justification and without a coherent plan to achieve a successful outcome.
“The American people want us to focus on making their lives better, not on the constantly shifting, ill-defined objectives that have been put forth by Trump and his advisers as the supposed goals of this war of choice.
“It is highly regrettable that the president and the vast majority of Republicans in Congress are acting contrary to the Constitution and to the will of the American people.”
