https://case.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=4843 Case Statement On U.S. Strikes On Iran 2026-02-28 2026 2026-02 Democrat House HI Ed Case C001055 case.house.gov case https://case.house.gov/news/documentquery.aspx?DocumentTypeID=27&Page=1 scraper (Honolulu, HI) – U.S. Congressman Ed Case (HI-01), a member of the House Appropriations Committee’s Subcommittees on Defense and Homeland Security, issued the following statement on U.S. military strikes on Iran: "Our Constitution and laws say that a President cannot take our country to war without Congressional authorization unless there’s an imminent threat to our country and then only for a limited period subject to Congressional approval. History teaches us that the grave risks and consequences of war are too great to allow any President to ignore these foundational checks and balances and act unilaterally. "Iran cannot be allowed to have nuclear weapons and the means to deliver them against us, and so there may be circumstances under which war would be our only option. But as there has been no demonstration of an imminent threat to our country, this action is not authorized and that cannot be ignored. (more) The President must fully explain to Congress and the American people the imminent threat we face justifying this action and the specific case for war. Congress must reconvene now to obtain all of the facts and vote to continue or end this military action. "We all pray for our servicemembers in harm’s way and their families and for the innocent lives that are being lost and shattered." ### 1 2026-04-04T05:28:40Z 2026-04-04T05:30:10Z
