No More Presidential Wars Resolution


No More Presidential Wars Resolution
The Issue
Please vote yes to move No More Presidential Wars resolution out of committee and on to the House floor for a vote. Thank you.
116th Congress (2019-2020) H.Res.411 - Defining Presidential wars not declared by Congress under article I, section 8, clause 11 (Declare War Clause) as impeachable "high crimes and misdemeanors" within the meaning of article II, section 4 of the Constitution and defining the meanings of war and co-belligerency for purposes of the Declare War Clause and Impeachment provisions.
Sponsor: Rep. Gabbard, Tulsi [D-HI-2] (Introduced 05/30/2019)
Committees: House - Judiciary
"The No More Presidential Wars resolution would prohibit the President from starting a war without Congressional authorization. It defines Presidential wars not declared by Congress under Article I, section 8, clause 11 (Declare War Clause) as impeachable “high crimes and misdemeanors.”
“The Trump Administration continues to escalate tensions with Iran, pushing us closer to the brink of war. This includes U.S. withdrawal from the Iran nuclear agreement, increasing crippling sanctions, designating Iran’s military as a terrorist organization, and sending more U.S. troops to the region,” said Rep. Tulsi Gabbard. “Congress bears the Constitutionally-mandated authority to declare war. Trump launching an attack against Iran without Congressional authorization would be illegal, unconstitutional, and kick off a war so devastating and costly, it would make the Iraq war look like a picnic."
“My No More Presidential Wars resolution will exact a clear consequence to any President that skirts the war powers authority of Congress and my NDAA amendments will make certain that nothing in this bill may be used to take America into yet another wasteful, counterproductive regime change war.”
"Peace gives us a chance for a brighter future." - Tulsi Gabbard
