For four months, one man decided we were at war. Today, the House said no. We passed a war powers resolution ordering our troops out of Iran unless Congress votes to keep them there. Not the President alone. Congress. The people’s representatives.

That is not a technicality. That is the whole point. Article I is clear. The power to send this country to war belongs to Congress. The framers built it that way because they had just escaped a king who could march a nation into war on a whim. They never wanted that power in 1 set of hands again.

But that is exactly where it has been. Four months of war we never approved. And we were never told how any of this ends. Today, a majority of the House finally drew the line.

Is the fight over? No. The Senate is next. The President can veto. We know the math. But for the first time, the People’s House went on the record and said the Constitution still means something. That is not symbolic. That is the system waking up. www.cnn.com/2026/06/03/p...

cnn.comHouse votes to limit Trump’s Iran war powers in remarkable rebuke | CNN PoliticsThe House passed a resolution on Wednesday to limit President Donald Trump’s war powers in Iran, a significant rebuke to Trump and his handling of the conflict.

Means what exactly? Why do we need a performative resolution when its already the law and explicitly in the constitution? If you can't enforce existing law, it doesn't mean anything. He's never going to sign that, and even if he did, he wouldn't follow it because he's already ignoring existing law

This vote makes no difference. Our Congress will vote to fund the Israeli military and for our military to fight in Israeli wars anyway.

Your country double tapped a school and killed more kids in a few minutes than the top ten school shootings in US history. 168 > 149. Your system isn't even close to waking up. If it were, this fact would be repeated ad nauseam until hegseth and trump were in shackles. So it goes.

System waking up after your Senate peers voted for his nominations while they ignored their phone lines? The same for every fascist bill? Glad you are awake. Too bad you slept in. For over a year. Think of where we would be at if @democrats.org recognized this threat a year ago. Or 5. Or even 10.

The people’s house didn’t say squat! A few pissed of republicans who lost their elections tried to say eat shit Trump that’s all. And remember this war will continue on its path due to the fact that it’s not a war remember?

As Trump shreds the constitution and congress is shown to be a freckles waste of money I'm starting to think our founding fathers were really not so brite.

That's a great point, but let's not forget the system's still waking up. We need to keep pushing for real change, not just symbolic wins.
