ACLU – March 1, 2026

Over the weekend, President Trump announced that the U.S. was going to war with Iran.

Let us be clear: President Trump’s decision to launch a bombing campaign against a country of nearly 100 million people without bothering to ask Congress is a clear constitutional violation. He is putting servicemembers and civilians in unacceptable danger.

That is why we are demanding Congress take immediate action to end President Trump’s unconstitutional use of military force against Iran. Add your name now to join us.

The Constitution gives war authority power to Congress, and Congress alone. It is what makes us a democracy, and ensures that our leaders fully consider the many costs of war – including the harm to human lives and rights, and any effects on global peace and stability – before sending troops into danger.

If President Trump wants to send U.S. servicemembers into conflict, he must make his case to the American people and their representatives in Congress. The commander in chief must follow the chain of command, and that begins with We the People.

Tell your leaders now: Vote YES on the Massie-Khanna War Powers Resolution to end President Trump’s unconstitutional use of military force against Iran.

Thank you,

The ACLU Team
