Representatives Introduce Resolution to Block Unauthorized Military Strikes by Trump Administration
Home Âť World Defence Âť Representatives Introduce Resolution to Block Unauthorized Military Strikes by Trump Administration
In a recent legislative move, Representatives Gregory W. Meeks, Adam Smith, Jim Himes, Bennie G. Thompson, Jason Crow, and Ilhan Omar have introduced a War Powers Resolution designed to put a stop to unauthorized military actions carried out by the Trump Administration in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific. The resolution highlights that these military strikes have been conducted without congressional authorization for over 60 days, raising significant concerns regarding constitutional authority and accountability.
The representatives have sharply criticized the current administration for executing 21 military strikes deemed unauthorized, which they assert have led to extrajudicial killings. They question the justification for using military force in counter-narcotics operations, a function traditionally managed by law enforcement agencies rather than the military. This focus on military engagement for issues that can be addressed through other means underscores a fundamental disagreement among lawmakers about the appropriate use of military power.
