Statement on Kaine Venezuela Bill Advancing

Washington, DC – Today, in response to the Senate advancing Senator Kaine’s War Powers Resolution, Max Rose, Afghanistan War Veteran and Senior Advisor to VoteVets, released the following statement:

“The dam has broken. Today, a stunning bipartisan majority in the Senate rebuked Donald Trump’s unilateral wars. They stood up and said that Trump does not have the authority to use our military any which way he wants, and if he wants to go further, he’ll have to come to Congress to allow Americans to have their say. It is sad that it has come to the point where a simple affirmation of the ‘declare war’ clause of the Constitution is news, but it is nonetheless a good day when Republicans join Democrats in telling Donald Trump that this is not ‘his military’ as much as he wants it to be his. It belongs to America.”

In a statement regarding the invasion, VoteVets Senior Advisor, Afghanistan Veteran and former Congressman Max Rose said:

“As a veteran of one of the last forever wars, I can say there is one difference between Bush and Trump: Bush at least went to Congress first.

“Americans are sick of these Forever Wars and sick and tired of presidents of both parties using the military without any vote in Congress when there is no imminent threat.

“Kings get to launch wars and use the military without the consent of the people. And on this 250th year of our existence, we damned sure have no King in this country.”
