FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

c: 202.913.0126
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Congresswoman Yvette D. Clarke (NY-09) released the following statement:
"Out of obligation to my nation, the Constitution, and human decency, I voted for the Iran War Powers Resolution.
"Congress' failure to pass this most basic check on the president is a smoldering signal flare to Donald Trump that he has free rein to steal more power from the People and wreak more chaos upon the world. After all, the 119th Congress will certainly not hold him accountable.
"Despite today's defeat, Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth's war remains a crime. These weak, cowardly men have no coherent plan to protect Americans domestic and abroad from its consequences, no plan to confront what comes next, and no ability to steer America through this crisis of their own creation.
"These United States have had their share of shameful days since the president took office. Today stands among the darkest of them."
