I also would work to get Congress to draft and pass legislation that would narrow and specify circumstances in which the President could initiate military action without Congressional approval.
Why we used this label
The case tracks support for continued U.S. military operations against Iran, including whether a candidate would vote for a war powers resolution to remove U.S. forces from hostilities. Asked that question, Mazzuckelli says she would vote for such a resolution and would work to limit the President's power to start military action without Congress, which opposes continuing the operation, so we labeled it Condemned.
