Today, Congresswoman Lois Frankel (FL-21) issued the following statement after voting for a resolution to limit the President's use of military force against Iran without congressional authority:

"As the mother of a U.S. Marine war veteran, I came to Congress with the promise of never sending someone else's child to a war that could have been avoided. America is not a monarchy -- the decision to go to war requires debate, deliberation, and collective judgement. This resolution honors that responsibility."
