Senator Baldwin Discusses Trump’s Unlawful War in Iran

Senator Tammy Baldwin argues that President Trump's military actions in Iran constitute an unlawful war because Congress has not authorized the use of force, violating constitutional requirements. She advocates for a congressional war powers resolution to check executive overreach and end the conflict, citing inconsistent messaging from the administration—alternating between 'we’ve won' and apocalyptic threats—as evidence of incoherent policy. Baldwin emphasizes that Congress must reclaim its constitutional role, even as Republican leaders fail to challenge the president despite backlash from conservative voices like Tucker Carlson.
