California Jewish Democrats stands with our Constitution and the War Powers Act, which requires that the Congress approve declarations of war. For a President who ran on "ending wars," Trump has used military air power 646 times in his first year, more than the 494 that Biden used in four years.

However, to be clear, Iran's theocratic regime is a primary destabilizing source in the region, which has attempted to undermine or overthrow governments in Iraq, Yemen, Lebanon and Israel, supported the Assad dictatorship in Syria and followed suit in suppressing and killing thousands of its own people.

The determination of who governs Iran must be left to the Iranian people and not any outside source.

We stand for the safety and self-determination of the Iranian people free from oppression and the preservation of US Constitutional checks on power.
