ACLU Urges Congress to Block 

Any New War Funding After 

Bipartisan Resolution Fails 


    WASHINGTON, DC — (ACLU) -- 3/8/26 -- The U.S. House of Representatives failed to pass the bipartisan Massie-Khanna War Powers Resolution in a March 5 vote which would have required that all U.S. forces be withdrawn from Iran, until and unless Congress separately declares war.

    “This failed war powers vote is nothing short of cowardly, but Congress can’t dodge the Constitution forever,” said Christopher Anders, director of ACLU’s democracy and technology division. “By refusing to rein in President Trump’s unauthorized war with Iran, Congress has allowed President Trump to make a mockery of the Constitution and is trying to duck responsibility for putting servicemembers and civilians in great danger. But, this disgraceful vote does not change Congress’ legal duty, and it certainly does not silence the millions of Americans who oppose another illegal war. We will hold President Trump accountable for this abuse of power.”

    The ACLU is now urging Congress to use its funding authority to block all supplemental funding requests for war funding from the Department of Defense while President Trump is engaging in this unconstitutional war. Without Congress authorizing additional funds, the military will simply run out of money to spend on the war.
