The president’s decision to attack three nuclear centers of Iran generated criticism of Republicans and Democrats in Congress, denouncing the action as unconstitutional because it was not authorized by the Legislature.
Republican congressmen and democrats condemned the US attack on Saturday to three nuclear facilities in Iran, confirmed by President Donald Trump, denouncing that the decision was unconstitutional and should have passed Congress.
The mayor of representatives, Nancy Peloi, requires answers to Donald Trump.
“Tonight, the president ignored the constitution by unilaterally involving our armed forces without congressional authorization. Along with my colleagues to demand government responses on this operation that puts American lives at risk and risks an even larger climb and dangerous destabilization of the region. “
“This is not constitutional”wrote on social networks the congressman republicano Thomas Massieciting the message in which Trump announced the attack.
O Democrat Jim Himes He recalled that congressmen like him should have a word to say about these subjects “before the bombs fall,” something that his party colleague Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez He reiterated, saying that “the disastrous decision of the president of bombarding Iran without permission is a gross violation of the Constitution and the Congress’ war powers.”
Sean Casten, also a representative of the Democratic Party, said that independently “the merits of the nuclear program of Iran”, neither Trump nor any other US president has authority “to bomb another country that does not represent an imminent threat to the United States.”
“This is an unmistakable crime that justifies dismissal,” said Casten.
According to the US Constitution, Only Congress has the power to declare war on a country. The attack on Iranian facilities is an act of war against Iran, which was directly attacked by Israel a week ago, with the two countries to exchange attacks ever since.
Since a week ago Trump implied that the United States could enter the conflict alongside Israel against Iran, Republicans have manifested themselves divided over whether US forces must intervene and risk being dragged to another conflict in the Middle East, something the president has not excluded.
“We have completed our successful attack on the three nuclear facilities in Iran, including Fordo, Natanz and Esfahan,” Trump said in a social media post and then confirmed in a brief statement to the White House.
Iran promised last week retaliation against any US attack, if the country joined the Israelite attacks and today reiterated the threat by the head of diplomacy, Araqchi, who said at dawn that Teer will reserve “all options” to defend himself and that the attack on the United States “will have lasting consequences.”
Trump’s decision to directly involve the United States directly in the war comes from the ninth day of Israel’s attacks on Iran, who have tried to systematically eradicate the air defenses and capabilities of offensive missiles in the country.
US and Israelites authorities had already publicly considered that the “Stealth” bombers B-2, with the ability to carry more than 13 tons anti-Bunking pumps, offered the best hypothesis of destroying strongly fortified underground places, linked to the Iranian nuclear program, as is the case with Forte, one of the nuclear centrals affected.
Trump arrived at the White House with the promise of keeping America out of expensive foreign conflicts and mocked the value of American interventionism starring the two previous democratic presidents, Barack Obama and Joe Biden.
