Today, Representative Bonnie Watson Coleman (NJ-12) issued the following statement after the House of Representatives passed a War Powers resolution brought forward by Representative Gregory Meeks (NY-05) to reign in Trump's actions in Iran:
The House just passed a War Powers resolution to end a conflict that Trump started without a plan or strategy.
Democrats had repeatedly forced votes since the war began, but GOP leadership blocked them. Their obstruction has cost the nation billions and has caused economic pain for everyday Americans, from groceries to the gas pump. It's also cost the lives of over a thousand Iranians.
Today's vote is a win for the people. The Senate must act quickly to hold this president accountable for his recklessness.
