Meanwhile, @senatemajldr this AM: "If the speaker continues to refuse to take her own accusations to trial, the Senate will move forward next week with the business of our people. We will operate on the assumption that House Democrats are too embarrassed...to ever move forward." — PolitiTweet.org

Smith walks back his comments on CNN this morning that it’s time to send the articles of impeachment to the Senate. While Senate Ds have started to say it’s time, House Ds are standing behind Pelosi’s strategy to delay until @senatemajldr releases trial rules. — PolitiTweet.org

Text of the Slotkin War Powers Resolution, which prohibits the president from using U.S. armed forces to engage in hostilities in or against Iran unless Congress declares war or explicitly authorizes it: https://t.co/kAs4nlKM5y — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

The Slotkin bill would limit the president's ability to take military action in Iran. The additional bills, which the Progressive Caucus is pushing for, would repeal the 2002 AUMF (Lee) and limit funding for military action in Iran without explicit Congressional approval (Khanna) — PolitiTweet.org
