  • Rep. Findley, Key Author of War Powers Resolution, and Congressional Critic of Israel, Dies

    “Similarly, we’ve seen an escalation of exactly what Findley tried to stop with the War Powers Resolution: President after president attacking other countries illegally, in violation of the Constitution, the War Powers Resolution and international law.
