War Powers Resolution
Mr. SCHUMER. Finally, on the Iran WPR, as Trump plays keyboard
warrior on Truth Social in his war with Iran, our men and women in
uniform are risking their lives on the frontlines.
This aimless war has been one of the greatest foreign policy
catastrophes in American history, and Trump's mess only gets worse with
every passing hour.
Trump said the war would last a week, but American servicemembers are
still getting killed 5 months later, and the war seems to be expanding
with Iran's latest attack in Egypt's territory.
Senate Republicans cannot sit on the sidelines as Trump's war
escalates out of control. Later today, Democrats will advance another
War Powers Resolution so we can get our troops out of danger and end
this war once and for all.
Will Senate Republicans keep helping Trump dig himself into a deeper
and deeper hole in Iran or will they finally show some backbone, grab a
shovel, and help Trump get out of this hole?
Republicans, do your duty to our servicemembers, to the American
people, and to your own conscience. Vote for our War Powers Resolution
to end this disaster.
I yield the floor.
I suggest the absence of a quorum.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
The senior assistant legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
Mrs. MURRAY. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order
for the quorum call be rescinded.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
