Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof.

“When Trump took our nation to war eight months ago, he did so despite any imminent threat posed by Iran to the United States, and lacking necessary Congressional authorization. Since then, a bipartisan House of Representatives has passed three resolutions rebuking the president for unlawful war with Iran.”

AI summary (separate from source): McCollum continued documenting alleged Trump malfeasance and pointed to prior House War Powers votes as accountability actions, but this is still a public challenge/rebuke rather than a completed accountability process such as hearings or impeachment.

AI summary (separate from source): GAO officially documented that Trump’s September rescission maneuver did not authorize withholding funds past expiration, supplying concrete official documentation of alleged legal overreach; it does not by itself show McCollum delivered the broader promised accountability process.
