Feb. 28, 2026, Fairfax, Va.—Americans for Limited Government Executive Director Robert Romano today issued the following statement urging Congress to give the President and U.S. military everything it needs to ensure victory over Iran:
“President Donald Trump has directed the U.S. military to use force against targets in Iran to further degrade its nuclear and missile capabilities, to defeat its forces and to prevent them from once again projecting power against U.S. interests in the region, exporting their revolution and threatening national security. Iran at this very moment is attacking our forces and allies across the region. Congress should receive appropriate notifications under federal laws including the War Powers Act, but, really, Congress should play a role and give our military everything it needs to win. Our troops in harm’s way deserve to know that their country is backing them up and that means both parties and the American people’s duly elected representatives in Congress. Give all due authorization, send more arms and do whatever it takes to win. The President can act under his own Article II authority and the laws Congress has enacted against an enemy that has already declared war and has been waging war against us for decades, but that has limits, and victory should be the goal. Now is the time for leadership, not partisanship.
“When the President says something, he means it. No one can doubt that when America says it will use force, it is not only a credible threat, but will be devastating. Iran should’ve taken the deal. The President has spoken often of no more endless wars. So, instead he is using overwhelming force to end this quickly. But in the days and weeks ahead, as it becomes clear how fragile or not the Iranian government really was and how willing and able the Iranian people really are to reclaim their own destiny or not, ultimately the President and Congress will have to make the determination whether to finish the job or not. God bless our troops. Congress, please give them everything they need to ensure victory — and nothing less.”
