[Peace-discuss] Rep. Jones introduces bipartisan Iran War Powers resolution

[Robert Naiman]

Rep. Walter Jones (R-NC) has introduced a bipartisan resolution
stating that the President cannot attack Iran without Congressional
authorization. The punch line is substantively the same as the DeFazio
resolution; the significance is that since this was introduced by a
Republican, it's a much more plausible ask for a Republican (e.g. Rep.
Johnson) to sign on.

(The text is also more minimalist - no "Whereas George Bush has ....")

The Just Foreign Policy alert has been updated to incorporate the
Jones resolution:
