Tim Kaine

"This conflict is Trump's illegal war."

"The constitution says we're not supposed to be at war without a vote of Congress."

"Kaine is leading an effort to advance a swift vote on a war powers resolution that would restrain President Donald Trump’s military attack on Iran."

"Every senator will have to go on the record to declare whether it is in our best interest to send our sons and daughters into conflict against Iran."

"I pray that my colleagues will vote to end this dangerous and unnecessary war that has already resulted in the loss of six service members and injured others."

"Here we are in a war that has cost American lives, that is leading to chaos throughout the region."

"Let me say it this way, there was no presentation of any evidence in that room... that suggested that the US faced any imminent threat from Iran."

"If you don't have the guts to vote yes or no on a war vote, how dare you send our sons and daughters into war where they risk their lives."

"We can’t afford to hide under a desk and let any president, Democrat or Republican, send our best and brightest, our own kids, into war to risk their lives unless we have debated it, we have determined it’s in the national interest, we have voted and thereby put our signature and our thumbprint on the notion that it’s worth sending our best and brightest to risk their lives."

"Your escalating pattern of military action without seeking our approval convinces me that you believe you never need to come to Congress to wage war against anyone anywhere."

"Let me say it this way, there was no presentation of any evidence in that room... that suggested that the US faced any imminent threat from Iran."
