Sunday, June 22, 2025 - New York Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has called for President Donald Trump to be impeached after he decided to bomb the top nuclear facilities of Iran, blasting the move as “unconstitutional.”
Ocasio-Cortez argued that by striking the Iranian nuclear
facilities ‘’without authorisation from lawmakers'' on Capitol Hill, the
president breached the Constitution and Congressional War Powers.
“The President’s disastrous decision to bomb Iran without
authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War
Powers,” Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) declared not long after Trump announced the
attack.
“He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare
us for generations. It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”
Earlier, Trump announced that he had ordered strikes to
target Iran’s Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan nuclear sites. Trump noted that
all American planes successfully departed Iranian airspace and were
“safely on their way home.”
Trump has been receiving backlash over the strikes, with
Rep. Thomas Massie clamouring for his impeachment.
Massie (R-Ky.), who hasn’t been shy about splitting with
Trump in the past, simply declared: “This is not Constitutional.”
Top Intel Committee Democrat Jim Himes (D-Conn.) similarly
accused Trump of exceeding his presidential authorities with the strikes and
slammed that he was not given advance notice of the attacks.
“According to the Constitution, we are both sworn to defend, my attention to this matter comes BEFORE bombs fall. Full stop,” Himes fumed on X.
