New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez demanded the impeachment of President Donald Trump following his decision to bomb Iran’s nuclear facilities without congressional approval. She labeled the strikes unconstitutional, arguing they violated the Constitution and Congressional War Powers. Ocasio-Cortez stated that Trump’s actions risked igniting a long-term war, calling the move a serious breach of authority and clear grounds for impeachment. Trump announced the strikes targeted Iran’s Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan nuclear sites, confirming all U.S. planes safely left Iranian airspace. The decision drew criticism from other lawmakers, including Representative Thomas Massie, who also called the strikes unconstitutional. Representative Jim Himes, a senior Democrat on the Intelligence Committee, condemned Trump for not providing advance notice, emphasizing that the Constitution requires congressional involvement before such actions. The controversy has fueled intense debate over presidential powers and the legality of the strikes.
