FETTERMAN ON SEN. TIM KAINE’S WAR POWERS RESOLUTION: “I’m going to vote no on that simply because I would never want to restrict any future president, Republican or Democrat, to do this kind of military exercise.”
Senator John Fettermann (D-PA), while speaking to the press on Thursday, said he will vote NO on Senator Tim Kaine’s (D-VA) unconstitutional War Powers Resolution.
Tim Kaine’s resolution would prevent Trump from attacking Iran without congressional debate and authorization.
Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) on Tuesday asserted that the War Powers Act is unconstitutional, pushing back forcefully against the lawmakers in both parties who are invoking the law in an effort to block President Trump from further military action in Iran.
“Many respected constitutional experts argue that the War Powers Act is itself unconstitutional. I’m persuaded by that argument,” Johnson told reporters in the Capitol. “They think it’s a violation of the Article II powers of the commander in chief. I think that’s right.”
