Mike Lee and Bernie Sanders come together to end US involvement in Yemen

On Wednesday, Sens. Mike Lee, R-Utah, and Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., introduced a joint resolution to end U.S. military involvement in the Saudi-led war against Yemen.

Staffers from Lee’s and Sanders’ offices told reporters the joint resolution reflects a bipartisan concern over U.S. participation in the Saudi-Emirati hostilities against the Houthi rebels in Yemen. Their main concern is that Congress never authorized any military participation on part of the U.S. in this particular conflict. However, their argument is more about restoring the balance of power from the executive branch back to Congress when it comes to the issue of declaring war.
