**Good Riddance to War Powers, and No More War in Ukraine: Rep. Thomas Massie’s Speech on Congress Floor**.
Fellow Americans,.
I rise today to speak about the importance of ending war powers and putting an end to the war in Ukraine. This is a complex and challenging issue, but it is one that we must address head-on..
War powers are a dangerous and outdated concept that gives the President too much authority to wage war without the consent of Congress. This is a violation of the Constitution, which clearly states that only Congress has the power to declare war..
For too long, Congress has abdicated its responsibility to declare war, and as a result, we have found ourselves in a perpetual state of war. This has led to the deaths of countless Americans and the destabilization of entire regions of the world..
It is time for us to reclaim our constitutional authority and put an end to this madness. We must pass a new War Powers Act that would require the President to obtain the consent of Congress before engaging in any military action..
This is not a partisan issue. It is a matter of principle. We must all work together to end war powers and bring our troops home..
I am also deeply concerned about the ongoing war in Ukraine. This conflict has already caused immense suffering, and it has the potential to escalate into a much larger war..
We must do everything we can to prevent this from happening. We must call for a ceasefire and begin negotiations to end the war..
We must also provide humanitarian aid to the people of Ukraine, who are suffering from the effects of the war..
The United States has a long history of intervening in foreign conflicts, and it has often done so with disastrous results. We must learn from our mistakes and avoid repeating them..
We must not allow ourselves to be drawn into another endless war. We must end war powers, and we must end the war in Ukraine..
Thank you, and God bless America..
