"You can't, as the president, engage in strikes on a foreign country when there's no imminent threat, without coming to Congress for authorization," says Ro Khanna, Democratic congressmember and member of the House Armed Services Committee, criticizing President Trump's decision to bomb Iran's nuclear sites as "blatantly unconstitutional" and a clear instance of executive overreach. Khanna and Republican congressmember Thomas Massie recently introduced a bipartisan Iran War Powers resolution in a bid to prevent further U.S. involvement in the Iran-Israel conflict. Khanna shares how anti-war voices in U.S. politics are too often silenced by powerful and wealthy interest groups and urges the Democratic Party to harness widespread anti-war sentiment in opposition to Trump's increasingly authoritarian foreign policy.
