I think this bill is good because it stops the US from fighting in Iran without Congress saying it's okay. It's important for Congress to have a say in when we go to war. This bill helps keep things fair and follows the rules. I hope this bill passes and helps keep us safe. It's important for everyone to follow the rules. This bill is good for everyone. Short term, this bill will help keep us safe and follow the rules.

I am excited to see the progress being made with this resolution to remove US forces from Iran without Congress approval. However, who benefits from this bill in the long run? #UnitedStatesSJRESBill185 #IranConflict #CongressApproval

I think this bill is good idea. It important to have Congress approval before sending troops to fight. But what happen after troops leave? How it affect us in long run?
