The senator criticized the strike as \u201can illegal, premeditated, and unconstitutional war,\u201d highlighting that under the U.S. Constitution, only Congress has the authority to declare war. He urged lawmakers to return to Washington immediately to vote on a pending War Powers Resolution, which seeks to clarify and limit presidential military authority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sanders also raised concerns about the broader implications of the action, calling it a potential violation of international law. \u201cMight does not make right,\u201d he stated, stressing the importance of diplomatic solutions over unilateral military strikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Concluding his remarks, Sanders issued a clear message: \u201cWe must not allow Trump to force us into another senseless war. No war with Iran.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His comments have sparked renewed debate in Washington about the limits of presidential power in authorizing military operations and the need for congressional oversight in international conflicts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
