\r\n\r\nWashington, DC<\/strong>\u00a0\u2014\u00a0Common Cause is calling on Congress to assert its\u00a0constitutional authority and hold the Trump Administration accountable for its unauthorized and illegal use of U.S. military forces in Iran.\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n\r\nThe action was taken without congressional authorization and\u00a0represents\u00a0a dangerous and unconstitutional expansion of presidential power that risks American lives, credibility, and long-term national interests.\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n

Statement from Common Cause President & CEO Virginia Kase Solom\u00f3n:\u00a0 \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n

\r\n\r\nFirst Venezuela, now Iran. How many more times does President Trump have to illegally attack a foreign nation before Congress finally does its job and says one man can\u2019t unilaterally start a war?\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n\r\nThe American people should never be dragged into an open-ended conflict without a\u00a0formal authorization from their elected representatives.\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n\r\nThis is a blatant attempt from a power-hungry president to put Americans\u2019 lives in danger to consolidate his own power and distract from the issues here at home: like the Epstein crimes, outrage over ICE\u2019s violence, and the affordability crisis. It\u2019s shameful and unacceptable.\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n\r\nCongress must not stand by. Its immediate responsibility is clear: pass a War Powers Resolution to stop this illegal war.\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n
