House Democrats will take up legislation Thursday to restrain President Trump's military actions amid hostilities with Iran, Speaker Pelosi announced
"Today, to honor our duty to keep the American people safe, the House will move forward with a War Powers Resolution to limit the President's military actions regarding Iran," Pelosi said in a statement Wednesday afternoon. She argued Trump"has made clear that he does not have a coherent strategy to keep the American people safe, achieve deescalation with Iran and ensure stability in the region.
At the House briefing, the administration failed to convince congressional Democrats that the 2002 Authorization for Use of Military Force provided the legal authorization to conduct the strike that killed Soleimani, reaffirming the belief among several lawmakers that a legislative option like Lee's bill must also be put on the floor as soon as possible, sources familiar with the meeting told CNN.
