Jayapal: US-led strikes on Yemen ‘an unacceptable violation’ of Constitution - eviltoast

Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) criticized U.S.-led strikes on Yemen, saying they were “an unacceptable violation of the Constitution.”

“Article 1 requires that military action be authorized by Congress,” Jayapal added in her post on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, late Thursday.

Other Democrats, including Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.), also criticized the strikes.

    Ive never implied anything about circumventing Congress, you keep shoehorning that into this discussion for some reason.

    The 2nd paragraph is spot on, and your last sentence is exactly what im trying to convey as well. Thanks fam.
