Rep. Adam Levin (D-CA) called for bipartisan cooperation to prevent a single president from deciding war and peace, and Rep. Teresa Leger Fernandez (D-NM) said Trump cannot end the war 'on paper' to bypass the law and then seek an extension without congressional approval, according to an Israeli media report. 'Enough with lies and wars that never end,' she said.
Democratic lawmakers have intensified criticism of President Donald Trump's handling of the military campaign against Iran. Rep. Adam Levin (D-CA) urged bipartisan cooperation to ensure that no single president can unilaterally decide on war and peace. Rep. Teresa Leger Fernandez (D-NM) accused Trump of attempting to circumvent the law by formally ending the war 'on paper' only to renew it and request an additional 60-day extension from Congress without proper authorization. 'Enough with lies and wars that never end,' she said. The remarks come amid an ongoing congressional debate over presidential war powers. Earlier this month, the Senate voted on a resolution to limit Trump's authority to order military action against Iran without congressional approval, but the measure failed. The House has also debated similar legislation. The criticism reflects a growing divide between the administration and Democratic lawmakers over the duration and conduct of the conflict.
