Congress should have the authority to approve military strikes against the Houthis in Yemen, according to Representative Ro Khanna. He highlights the importance of learning from history, specifically the Vietnam War, and the need for congressional oversight to prevent escalating conflicts. Khanna points out that President Biden’s recent airstrikes against the Houthis without congressional approval go against the War Powers Resolution and the Constitution. He argues for a diplomatic approach, including a ceasefire in Gaza, involving regional allies, and addressing the issue of justice for Palestinians, to achieve peace and stability in the Middle East.
