Ms. ROSS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today with grave concerns about President Trump's unwarranted and unconstitutional war of choice on Iran.

Only Congress has the authority to declare war. The President does not have the power to send our Nation to war unilaterally.

We are now in an escalating conflict that the American people do not want and that Congress did not authorize.

Senior Trump administration officials have failed to provide significant evidence of an imminent threat to justify this attack, and there is no consensus on when it will end.

What is their plan to prevent further loss of American servicemembers? What will stop our country from being pulled into another protracted conflict in the Middle East? How much will it cost?

This is why I just voted for a War Powers Resolution to curb President Trump's use of military force in Iran and protect American lives.
