Congress hasn't declared war since 1942, and yet the country keeps being in them. Right now that means boat crews killed in international waters on one official's say-so, with no charges filed and no evidence made public; it means a twenty-five-year-old authorization written for the people who attacked us in 2001 stretched to cover strangers who were children at the time; and it means one person, on one bad night, holding sole authority to start a nuclear war that nobody else could stop. The Constitution gave that decision to Congress because it is the one decision that should be hard, and slow, and on the record, with names attached. Resistbot is asking the candidates on your 2026 ballot to require a congressional vote before any offensive use of force, repeal the 2001 AUMF, and bar first use of nuclear weapons without a declaration of war.
