Al Green, D-Texas, that would have impeached President Trump on the charge of starting an unconstitutional war with Iran by bombing its nuclear facilities last week without consent from or adequate notice to Congress. Green said: “We will have to decide whether we will have a country that abides by a Constitution that is meaningful or ignores a Constitution such that it becomes meaningless.” A resolution opponent, Rep.

Carter, R-Texas, to provide $435 billion to fund the Veterans Affairs (VA) Department, and $18 billion for military construction programs, in fiscal 2026. Carter said the bill “provides critical funding for military bases, provides housing for our troops and their families, and makes other investments aimed at improving the quality of life of our servicemembers.

Moore said: “We shouldn’t have to wait for repeat drunk drivers to injure someone or kill before they are deported.” A bill opponent, Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., said it was unnecessary because “immigrants who drive drunk are already covered by the criminal law, and the undocumented ones are already categorically deportable.” The vote, on June 26, was 246 yeas to 160 nays.

Taylor Greene said the reports “will increase the transparency and accountability that are critical to the health of our constitutional republic.” A bill opponent, Rep. J. Luis Correa, D-Calif., said the reports put “our national security at risk by forcing DHS to hand over parts of its playbook on how it stops potential actors from entering the United States.” The vote, on June 26, was 231 yeas to 182 nays.
