Dems assail 'erratic' Trump over strikes
Bangkok Post
|June 24, 2025
Democrats bristled on Sunday over US President Donald Trump's decision to launch air strikes on Iran without seeking authorisation from Congress, accusing the Republican of violating the constitution and demanding a vote to rein in his war powers.
-
Senate and House members argued that US intelligence had not shown an imminent threat from the Middle Eastern country that justified Mr Trump's unilateral action.
"President Trump's actions in bombing Iran puts the US on the brink of a wider war in the Middle East, all without constitutionally required Congressional approval," Senate Democratic Whip Dick Durbin said in a statement.
Democrats were divided between those demanding a vote on a war powers resolution to constrain Mr Trump's authority to launch further action and a smaller group, who maintained that the strikes were grounds for the Republican leader's impeachment.
They included Illinois moderate Sean Casten and New York leftist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who accused the president of having "impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations".
