WASHINGTON — U.S. Senator Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.) announced the Senate passage of a War Powers Resolution he cosponsored, which would direct President Trump to end military operations in Iran if not explicitly authorized by Congress.
The text of the War Powers Resolution is here.
Last week, Heinrich, as Ranking Member of the U.S. Senate Energy and Natrual Resources Committee, hosted a roundtable to discuss how the Trump administration’s policies, including the war with Iran, have driven up energy costs for families, consumers, communities, and small businesses.
Last month, Heinrich hosted a roundtable with local small business owners, Roadrunner Food Bank, and Women’s Economic Self-Sufficiency Team, Corp. (WESST) to discuss how President Trump’s global tariffs and war with Iran are making gas, groceries, and everyday essentials more expensive for New Mexico families and businesses.
Heinrich also wrote to the CEOs of the six biggest U.S. airlines seeking information on the current economic conditions of the airline industry as President Trump’s war in Iran continues, requesting that the airlines detail their plan to address rising jet fuel costs, and whether companies will cap or reduce executive compensation to help offset rising costs.
