Leader Schumer Statement On The Senate Advancing The War Powers Resolution

Washington, D.C. – Today, Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) released the following statement after the Senate voted to advance the Iran War Powers Resolution:

“Vote by vote, Democrats are breaking through Republicans’ wall of silence on Trump’s illegal war. For more than 80 days, Trump has dragged America into a costly, chaotic conflict with no plan, no objective, and no legal authority. Today proved our pressure is working: Republicans are starting to crack, and momentum is building to check him. We are not letting up.”
