“Our Constitution gives Congress, not the president, the power to declare war,” said Senator Kaine (D-VA). “And every member of Congress should have the courage to vote and be held accountable for the question of whether a war with Iran or any war is a good idea… Congress should weigh in on whether a military mission is worth risking our troops’ lives and health. We can’t consign our troops to possible bloodshed unless Congress votes that military action is in the national interest.”
