Call Script
My name is __________. I am a constituent, and my zip code is _______. I am a member of Indivisible SF.
As my representative in Congress, you need to defend our Constitution against Trump's usurpation of the power to declare war. Don’t let him grab power to use our military for his personal gain.
Background
Article I, Section 8, Clause 11 of the U.S. Constitution says: "Congress shall have Power … To declare war, grant letters of marque and reprisal, and make rules concerning captures on land and water;"
Yet on January 8, wannabe king Trump asserted to the New York Times that his power to unilaterally use military force internationally and domestically is constrained only by: "My own morality. My own mind. It’s the only thing that can stop me.”
