Urge Congress to prevent unauthorized military action against Iran
Resolution Resolution No. 96-25
In Plain English
The U.S. recently launched military strikes on Iranian nuclear sites without Congressional approval. The Constitution requires Congress to declare war, but presidents increasingly bypass this requirement. If approved, Richmond sends this formal statement to federal representatives calling for stronger legislative oversight of military actions.
