Democrats file new war powers resolutions and call for public hearings on Iran strikes | Democrats
Democratic senators have filed new war powers resolutions demanding public hearings on the US conflict with Iran. The resolutions, filed by Cory Booker, Tim Kaine, Adam Schiff, Tammy Baldwin, and Chris Murphy, aim to force a vote on continuing the conflict unless Congress authorizes it. The GOP-controlled Senate and House of Representatives blocked similar resolutions last week, arguing that Donald Trump acted within his authority when the US attacked Iran alongside Israel in late February. The senators argue that public hearings are necessary to explain why the US is involved in the war, how it will end, and prioritize lowering costs for American families.
