Tell Congress: No Unconstitutional War with Iran The president’s reckless decision to bomb Iran without bothering to ask for congressional approval is a clear constitutional violation that puts us all in danger. The time to act is now.

The Constitution gives war authority power to Congress alone. Trump violated the Constitution when he announced the U.S. was going to war and launched a bombing campaign against Iran, a country with 100 million people, without ever going to Congress for authorization.
