0:55Now PlayingThe Pentagon is moving forward with a massive $200 billion proposal to fund the ongoing war in Iran. This request is meeting heavy resistance, as it highlights a glaring constitutional crisis: the executive branch is waging a war that lacks both Congressional approval and broad public support. This is a "line in the sand" moment for Americans of all political stripes. Congress is constitutionally mandated to declare war and control federal spending, yet billions are being funneled into "forever wars" without accountability. It is time for citizens to demand that the government seeks proper authorization before committing national treasure to war.
