2020 MN Senatorial race: on War & Peace


Tina Smith: No War with Iran without Congressional OK

Constituent letter June, 2019: "I cosponsored Senator Tom Udall of New Mexico's Prevention of Unconstitutional War with Iran Act. This bipartisan bill would prevent the President from using the military to strike Iran except with an express act of Congress authorizing such action or in response to an imminent threat to the United States from Iran. I will continue to be a strong advocate in Congress for seeking diplomatic solutions that reduce the risk of military conflict."
