Chris: Do you believe the President has the Constitutional authority to launch a war against Iran without Congressional approval?Maxine: Oh absolutely not. As a matter of fact General Clark and some others saw this coming and they have been talking with many of us about directing our attention toward the fact that the President was moving toward Iran and so many of us are saying to the President through letters and through actions: Don’t do it Mr. President! Don’t. We believe that you should be involved with diplomatic efforts with Iran. We cannot afford to sustain this war in Iraq and Afghanistan and go into Iran and then take on Syria. This doesn’t make good sense. We can’t afford to do that.
