Leader Jeffries should swear her in on the steps of the Capitol, so she can finally get to work to do the job she was elected to do.

This is not about the merits of Iranβs nuclear program. No president has the authority to bomb another country that does not pose an imminent threat to the US without the approval of Congress. This is an unambiguous impeachable offense.
