Rep. Banks Condemns Democrats' Dangerous War Powers resolution
Washington,
January 9, 2020
WASHINGTON -- Ahead of the full House vote on a War Powers resolution that would require the president to notify every member of Congress before taking any military action against terrorists in the Middle East, Rep. Banks released the following statement:
"Today, Speaker Pelosi have us voting on a resolution that intentionally ties the administration’s hands behind its back and leave our brave men and women of the armed forces more vulnerable to attack during a critical showdown with Iran. I will vote NO. "Democrats' partisan antics have real-world consequences for troops on the ground. America's enemies eye US domestic politics closely. Any coincidence Iran ramps up aggression during impeachment? Time to stand behind our troops and President Trump who's trying to keep them safe."
