Recent polling indicates that an overwhelming majority of Americans, including me, oppose the U.S. becoming directly involved in the Israel-Iran conflict. In addition, Congress was neither consulted nor granted the opportunity to approve the June 21 strikes on Iran, as required by both the Constitution and the 1973 War Powers Act.
This war with Iran was instigated by a President who has repeatedly shown poor judgment—just consider his erratic tariff behavior as one example.
