Democrats Call Trump Impeachment After Unauthorized Iran Nuclear Strikes

President Donald Trump's authorization of airstrikes on three Iranian nuclear sites has sparked significant controversy and calls for impeachment from Democratic lawmakers. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez condemned the strikes as a 'grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers,' asserting that Trump's unilateral military action without Congressional approval constitutes clear grounds for impeachment. Representative Sean Casten echoed this view, labeling the strikes an 'unambiguous impeachable offense' and emphasizing that no president has the authority to bomb another country absent an imminent threat and Congressional consent. The strikes, which targeted facilities including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan, were hailed by Trump as a successful military achievement aimed at halting Iran's nuclear threat, while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu praised the action as bold and historic. Despite these high-level endorsements, the debate has reignited concerns about executive overreach and the constitutional limits on presidential war powers. While some Democrats are vocal about pursuing impeachment, the likelihood of success remains low given their minority status in Congress.
