Rand Paul: America's War Effort Is 'Undemocratic' Amid Lacking Congressional Approval
Senator Rand Paul argues that America is currently engaged in an undeclared war without the consent of its citizens. He believes this undermines democratic principles and warrants a re-examination of the country's involvement in military conflicts.
SEN RAND PAUL: America is at war—but Americans didn’t vote for it. War often begins without public input or approval, rendering rational discussion of its pros and cons nearly impossible. This lack of citizen participation is a stark departure from the principles enshrined in the US Constitution, which demands a thorough examination of the nation's military actions. As a result, many Americans feel that they are at war without their consent.
