I'm supportive of Senator Kaine's resolution, but it is not an authorization of military force... I frankly believe that we shouldn't proceed with other business until we get a commitment to have a debate on an Authorization of Military Force... So I want that debate. I think the Senate has to demand that debate.
Support Senator Tim Kaine's War Powers Resolution and demand a Senate debate on an Authorization for the Use of Military Force before allowing the Iran war to continue without congressional authorization.

Murphy forces Congress war powers vote as Iran conflict persists
Evidence
"I'm supportive of Senator Kaine's resolution... I think the Senate has to demand that debate."
Motion to Discharge S.J.Res. 185 ... Agreed to; Murphy (D-CT), Yea.
Assessments
Murphy publicly endorsed Kaine's war powers resolution and urged the Senate to demand an AUMF debate, and he also voted to advance the Iran war powers measure in the Senate. That shows concrete support and legislative effort, but the evidence does not show that a full AUMF debate or authorization was actually completed, so this is partial credit rather than full delivery.
