Senator Fetterman gets visibly irritated on air at Rand Paul after CNN reads aloud his opposition to Iran strikes:“Who does Rand Paul agree with?! He doesn’t even agree with Republicans.”CNN’s Dana Bash showed Fetterman Senator Paul’s post condemning the strikes.BASH: “Your colleague from Kentucky, Republican Senator Rand Paul, posted; ‘The constitution conferred the power to declare or initiate war to Congress for a reason, to make war less likely. My oath of office is to the constitution so with studied care I must oppose another presidential war.’”“So just to be clear, it doesn’t concern you that President Trump has launched these strikes…if these strikes continue, you don’t think Congress should have a role?”FETTERMAN: “First of all, what does who does Rand Paul agree with?!”“He doesn’t even agree with Republicans. He voted against them too now.”“So I really don’t follow him and I don’t really use his kinds of insights in all of it.”“So what happened yesterday was incredibly successful. And now Iran was trying to acquire a nuclear bomb.”“They refused to negotiate, they refused to change a different way forward. And I fully support that.”“And now if you talk about the War Powers Act, that that wasn’t broken.”“And I don’t understand why we can’t just say, thank God, no, we weren’t [haven’t] lost any any soldiers. And we were incredibly effective about destroying the Iranian leadership.”“And there wasn’t any kind of outcry from from parts of the left after Iran executed about 30,000 of their young people that were just simply just protesting for democracy.”https://x.com/overton_news/status/2028114094402719927?s=12

I would have replied that the president has preliminary powers to use force to destroy a clear and present danger. War has not been declared by any official body.
