In a press conference in New York today, Chuck Schumer, the Senate minority leader, said Democrats in the upper chamber would force a vote on a war powers resolution to limit the administration’s military campaign in Iran when Congress returns from recess next week.
Earlier, the Senate’s top Democrat called Donald Trump a “military moron” on social media.
Schumer noted that, despite the two-week ceasefire, the cost of the war, and the effect on gas prices, has made the US “worse off today than we were when [Trump] started it”.
“If he restarts this war we will be in even worse shape. We must pass our War Powers Resolution to end this war for good,” Schumer wrote.
Useless piece of paper. The courts ruled Trump can’t Tarrif and yet he continues to Tarrif. Congress isn’t interested in anything more than tweets and resolutions, aka, they will not stop this war. They will sit and watch Trump break every resolution and court order all the way to the Nuclear Apocalypse.
