US Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer calls on President Donald Trump to “provide the American people and Congress clear answers on the actions taken tonight and their implications for the safety of Americans.”
“No president should be allowed to unilaterally march this nation into something as consequential as war with erratic threats and no strategy,” Schumer says in a statement following the US strike on Iran’s nuclear sites.
“Confronting Iran’s ruthless campaign of terror, nuclear ambitions, and regional aggression demands strength, resolve, and strategic clarity. The danger of wider, longer, and more devastating war has now dramatically increased.”
“We must enforce the War Powers Act and I’m urging Leader Thune to put it on the Senate floor immediately. I am voting for it and implore all Senators on both sides of the aisle to vote for it,” he says, referring to legislation that limits the president’s power to unilaterally sign off on prolonged military entanglements abroad without authorization from Congress.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
