from Ken Martin, Chair Democratic National Committee [View all]

In January — speaking to the entire nation at his Inauguration — Donald Trump proclaimed "We will measure our success not only by the battles we win, but also by the wars that we end, and perhaps most importantly, the wars we never get into."

Today, against his own words, the president sent bombers into Iran.

Americans overwhelmingly do not want to go to war.

Americans do not want to risk the safety of our troops abroad.

Americans do not want a president who bypasses our Constitution and pulls us towards war without Congressional approval.

Donald Trump needs to bring his case to Congress immediately.
