Statement by Congressman Rob Menendez on House Republican Iran Resolution Vote
"Since coming to Congress, I have consistently supported taking strong action on Iran. The Iranian regime is the largest state sponsor of terrorism, violently oppresses its own people, and collaborates with our other adversaries against us and our allies."
"However, I had serious concerns about yesterday's vote given my complete distrust of House Republicans and the Trump Administration. In particular, Republicans used language that mirrors prior authorizations for military force and scheduled the vote to coincide with the War Powers Resolution.
"Since this vote, Republicans have made clear that these concerns were completely valid - claiming that the House voted 'overwhelmingly' to support Trump's war in Iran. These underhanded and dishonest tactics are why I voted no."
