Rep. Norcross Votes ‘Yes’ on War Powers Resolution

WASHINGTON, DC -Today, Congressman Donald Norcross (NJ-01) released a statement on his support for the War Powers Resolution.

"As a senior member of the House Armed Services Committee, I received classified briefings after Operation Epic Fury and am still left with serious questions. The American people deserve to know why this strike was undertaken at this time, why it happened now, and what strategy exists to prevent a wider conflict," said Congressman Donald Norcross. "The Iranian regime has posed a persistent threat to U.S. national security for decades, is the leading global sponsor of terrorism, and has oppressed its own people. Undertaking a war in the Middle East without a full understanding of the conflict is not the right strategy and puts our servicemembers at risk. The War Powers Resolution makes clear that the President must go to Congress and justify any use of military force against Iran."
