Did Donald Trump cross the line? While the US president boasts about destroying three Iranian nuclear facilities, a real drama is unfolding in the US Congress! Not only Democrats have jumped up, but some Republicans have also started questioning the constitutionality of Trump’s decision. Lawmakers from both parties claim the president impulsively and unlawfully launched military strikes without Congress’s approval, which they say is a blatant violation of the Constitution.
Republican Warren Davidson from Ohio can hardly believe Trump can justify such a move, while Thomas Massie from Kentucky even introduced a bipartisan resolution to block military actions against Iran without explicit Congressional approval. Independent Senator Bernie Sanders sharply criticized Trump’s actions as a “gross violation of the Constitution” and reminded that only Congress has the power to take the country to war.
Democratic star Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez went further, saying Trump’s move is a clear basis for impeachment. She warns that the president impulsively risked a conflict that could affect generations.
All this comes after US forces bombed three Iranian nuclear sites, reportedly destroying them completely. While Trump celebrates the military success, a constitutional battle rages in Congress. Did the president cross the line, or is Congress just too sensitive? Drop a comment and tell us what you think — is this the start of a new war or just another political soap opera?
