Cory Booker criticized both parties for allowing Trump expanded war powers during Iran conflict
Senator Cory Booker called both Democrats and Republicans 'feckless' for ceding congressional war powers to Trump during a CNN interview. He referenced ongoing US military strikes in Iran, Venezuela, and Nigeria since Christmas, including a war that began February 28 when a missile strike killed Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The House measure to stop military action in Iran failed, and a Senate war powers resolution was rejected 47-53.
