Would be interested in your reaction to this response I got from my senior US Senator regarding the war in Iran. I think it is rather wishy-washy.
Dear Mr. Phillips,
Thank you for contacting me regarding congressional war powers. I appreciate your interest in this important issue.
Since taking office, I have been deeply involved in the debate over Congress’ constitutional power to declare war.

Voting to authorize military force is one of the most serious decisions Members of Congress can make, and we must be willing to fulfill this constitutional duty in deciding when America goes to war. For decades, Iran has funded terror around the globe, including against Americans and our allies. The Iranian regime has refused to dismantle its nuclear program despite repeated U.S. efforts at diplomacy, and Iran’s ballistic missiles are a major threat to regional and global stability. 2/

@DrJay@mastodon.energy It's not wishy washy. It's recited propaganda.
