Sen. Rand Paul warned the Trump administration not to go to war with Iran, at least not without getting permission from Congress
Sen. Rand Paul on Wednesday warned the Trump administration not to go to war with Iran, at least not without getting permission from Congress.
“You do not have the permission of Congress to go to war with Iran,” Paul responded, while chiding Pompeo for trying to deflect the question. “Only Congress can declare war.” The hearing was supposed to focus on the Trump administration’s proposal to slash the State Department budget by about a fourth. But lawmakers from both parties have dismissed the Trump administration’s budget proposal, saying it was a non-starter the way past such Trump plans have been.
Cardin noted he was talking about North Korea, not Iran, then asked if international inspectors were on the ground in North Korea examining its nuclear program, the way they were in Iran. Pompeo said they were not.
