Military response to Houthi attacks reopens debate on US wars, Congress' approval
Undeclared wars are not without precedent in U.S. history. Congress never formally declared war against Korea in the 1950s, Vietnam in the '60s, or against Iraq in either of the Gulf wars.

A bipartisan group of congressional lawmaker is urging the White House to stop taking what they consider overly aggressive actions against the Yemen-based Houthis – but by some measures the request may have been sent almost a decade too late.

The request came in 500-word letter Friday and centers on the U.S. military response to the Houthis' air strikes on merchant vessels in the Red Sea, in response to Israel's war on the Palestinian-affiliated militant group Hamas in Gaza.

The letter shows an unusual level of support from both sides of the aisle – a rare occasion in which the views of Republican firebrand Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, of Georgia, and New York Democratic Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez are in sync.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

I don't believe democrat presidents with Alzheimer's, who have never been in the military, should ever be questioned about their military moves. :nono:
