If President Biden had enough time to form a multinational coalition to plan and conduct strikes in Yemen, then he had enough time to seek and obtain an authorization from Congress as our Constitution requires.
Without this authorization, any nondefensive military action is unconstitutional and unlawful.
And we know from the White House’s own statement that the U.S. strikes recently launched were nondefensive. The strikes were warned about well in advance and intended to deter, not to stop an incoming attack.
Nobody should confuse offensive military action to deter expected future Houthi attacks on shipping lanes with defensive military action to protect the United States and its people from imminent harm.
The separation of powers is critical to both our liberty and our safety, and this fundamental constitutional principle has no more important application than in the domain of making war. It’s past time for Congress to stand up to these rogue presidents.

On the same day that South Africa tries to stop Israel's genocide in the United Nations' top court, the US defends Israel's genocide by bombing one of the world's poorest countries.
BREAKING: The US and UK, instead of withdrawing support for Israel’s ongoing genocide in Palestine, are gearing up to drop bombs on Yemen because it is attempting to stop the genocide in Gaza.
Yes.
On May 13 1985, the Philadelphia police dropped a bomb on a West Philly neighborhood, specifically on the house of a Black liberation group called MOVE, ki!!ing 11 members, including 5 children, destroying 61 homes and leaving 250 people homeless.
Adult female soldiers held captive are called "girls" by the Daily Mail.
Meanwhile a 3 or 4 yr old shot dead is a "young lady" on Sky.
Ladies and gentlemen, the British Press.
Mohamed Hadid left Palestine as an infant when his family had to flea Israeli violence, and Jewish refugees his family sheltered kicked them out of their own home.
75 years later, the IOF have written his and his daughter’s names on bombs to be dropped on their remaining people.
The fake rape claims against the Palestinian resistance often borrow their substance from the crimes of a sick, fascist Israeli society, founded on arrogant privilege and dispossession. https://t.co/FxeSDi0K1z
Just heard @abcnews 7am bulletin describe the horrific Gaza war as Israel’s “ongoing crackdown against Hamas in Gaza.”
This language is incredibly dehumanising.
How can a brutal bombardment which has now killed so many thousands of civilians be described in such as manner?
The Israeli terrorist army deliberately uses (American) bombs and ammunition containing depleted uranium in densely populated areas in #Gaza. This has only one purpose: making the environment unliveable and contaminating the soil. Increasing evidence that ethnic cleansing and genocide is the goal.
Zionism is pure evil. ☠️
