US Constitution

On July 21, 2026 By MPAC

Reporting directly from Capitol Hill, MPAC President Salam Al-Marayati delivers a critical update on rising Middle East tensions. As military escalation threatens to drag Iran, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Bahrain, Kuwait, and the UAE into a massive regional war, Salam reminds lawmakers of their constitutional duty. Under the U.S. Constitution, only Congress has the power to declare war, not a single member of the administration. Lawmakers must answer to the American people before plunging the nation into another endless conflict. Watch full updates and policy breakdowns on YouTube, Spotify, or Apple Podcasts.
