Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) released a statement calling Trump’s move a
“grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers.”
“He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for
generations. It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment,” the
lawmaker added in a publication on X.
The
President’s disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a
grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers.
He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations.
It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.
Trump addressed the nation, saying that U.S. strikes in Iran were a “spectacular military success.”
“Tonight, I can report to the world that the strikes were a
spectacular military success. Iran’s key nuclear enrichment facilities
have been completely and totally obliterated,” Trump said in his first
public remarks since the strikes were carried out.
The president went on to warn Iran that if peace was not met, future worse attacks would be coming.
“Iran, the bully of the Middle East, must now make peace. If they do
not, future attacks will be far greater and a lot easier,” Trump said in
a Saturday night address to the nation. “This cannot continue. There
will be either peace or there will be tragedy for Iran, far greater than
we have witnessed over the last eight days. Remember, there are many
targets left.”
Trump warned that the U.S. could “go after those other targets with
precision, speed, and skill,” which he said could be done “in a matter
of minutes.”
