Jayapal Introduces War Powers Resolution

WASHINGTON, DC - U.S. Representative Pramila Jayapal (WA-07), Chair Emerita of the Congressional Progressive Caucus (CPC), introduced a War Powers Resolution today to end Trump's illegal war with Iran.

"Congress alone has the power to declare war - it's that simple," said Jayapal. "Trump has recklessly and thoughtlessly thrown us into another forever war that is threatening US servicemembers' lives, civilians' lives in Iran and Lebanon, and is costing billions of taxpayer dollars every single day. This is not what the American people want, it is a violation of our Constitution, and Congress must step up to end it."

Jayapal joins fellow CPC Members, Representatives Ro Khanna (CA-17) and Jared Huffman (CA-02), in introducing War Powers Resolutions this week to demand an end to the war.
