Kucinich Says U.S. in Constitutional Crisis
As Admin. Considers Escalation with Russia

 

For immediate release

CLEVELAND Friday, (Sept 13) - - Dennis J. Kucinich, former congressman and Democratic presidential candidate in 2004 and 2008, now running as an independent for Congress in Ohio’s 7th Congressional District, issued this statement in light of reports that the ‘White House is finalizing plans to expand where Ukraine can hit inside Russia.’  

“We are in a Constitutional crisis.  The Biden Administration, using Ukraine as a proxy, is having discussions about whether to precipitate WWIII, enabling Ukraine to have offensive missiles to strike deep inside Russia.   Only Congress has the authority to move this country from peace to war.  Only Congress, under Article 1,  Section 8, of the U.S. Constitution can make a decision which puts the U.S. in the direction of war.   

“This is particularly urgent since the Administration, again using Ukraine as a proxy,  is considering using U.S. tax dollars and U.S. long range missiles and other U.S. assets to set the stage for what will inevitably be a nuclear exchange with Russia, which by all accounts has a nuclear arsenal equal or superior to the U.S.

“This is not politics as usual.  This is madness.  No Administration, Democrat or Republican, has the right to take us into a war which has the capacity to destroy not only our country, but the world.  Congress must intervene and step up to its Constitutional responsibilities,”  Kucinich said.

 

Note:   Kucinich, as a member of Congress, challenged the constitutionality of the actions of three U.S. presidents on matters of war.  As an independent has not aligned himself with any presidential campaign.
