Schumer: 'The president does not have the authority for a war with Iran. If he plans a large increase in troops and potential hostility over a longer time, the administration will require congressional approval—and the approval of the American people.'
January 3, 2020, 4:23 PMA U.S. airstrike killed Qassem Soleimani, the commander of Iran’s Quds Force and a top Iranian general, which has sparked fears of escalation.While House Speaker Nancy Pelosi demanded an immediate briefing on the U.S. airstrike that killed Iranian commander Qassem Soleimani, Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham said Friday that he was informed about the operation beforehand earlier this week while visiting President Donald Trump in Florida.
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi speaks during a news conference at the Capitol in Washington, D.C., Dec. 19, 2019. "If we're going to have a major deployment in Iran -- which we're not going to have -- then it would be appropriate," Meadows said on MSNBC, when asked if Trump needed congressional approval.
It's unclear whether House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., was informed of the operation before it was carried out, but he did spend time with Trump this week at Mar-a-Lago and tweeted his support Friday morning.
