GOP Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky and Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna of California worked on a war powers resolution to prohibit US forces from engaging in hostilities against Iran without authorization from Congress .

Massie: "We were tired of endless wars in the Middle East , and tired of wars in East- Eastern Europe " Khanna : "The tragedy in this country is that we keep entering these overseas wars".

Congressman Massie says the procedure should have been that Congress was briefed before we decided to enter war, and that we actually had a vote on it.

Massie: "We are tired from all of these wars, and we're non-interventionists. We need to pass Thomas Massie and my War Powers Resolution to make it clear that we're not going to get further entrenched into the Middle East ".

Rep. Khanna : "It's a totally unfair smear to call people isolationists, the vast majority of Americans who don't want more war and want diplomacy" Rep. Massie : "Diplomacy and engagement is not isolationism" "We have put more American troops at risk. We've created a generation of hate," he says.
