Top Hill Democrat Schumer Calls On Senate To Vote On Act To Limit Trump’s War Powers

US Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer calls on President Donald Trump to “provide the American people and Congress clear answers on the actions taken tonight and their implications for the safety of Americans.”

“No president should be allowed to unilaterally march this nation into something as consequential as war with erratic threats and no strategy,” Schumer says in a statement following the US strike on Iran’s nuclear sites.

“Confronting Iran’s ruthless campaign of terror, nuclear ambitions, and regional aggression demands strength, resolve, and strategic clarity. The danger of wider, longer, and more devastating war has now dramatically increased.”

“We must enforce the War Powers Act and I’m urging Leader Thune to put it on the Senate floor immediately.

I am voting for it and implore all Senators on both sides of the aisle to vote for it,” he says, referring to legislation that limits the president’s power to unilaterally sign off on prolonged military entanglements abroad without authorization from Congress.
