  • A bipartisan group of 43 lawmakers want Biden to get congressional approval before sending troops into Ukraine.

  • Some of the lawmakers have a bad history with one another, but they co-signed a letter to the president.

  • US troops are in several countries in the region.

Forty-three lawmakers from both sides of the aisle signed a letter urging President Joe Biden to get approval from Congress before sending US troops to intervene in the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

The letter was signed by both progressive and GOP representatives. The letter calls for Biden to abide by the Constitution and seek congressional authorization before engaging in hostilities.

The separation of powers, US law, and Congress's constitutional war powers authority should be respected by your administration.

Should your administration want to introduce US armed forces into hostilities or decline to remove any US military personnel currently deployed inside Ukraine from unauthorized hostilities or imminent hostilities, Congress stands ready to deliberate over the potentially monumental implications of such scenarios.

The American people, through their representatives in Congress, deserve to have a say before US troops are placed in harm's way or the US becomes involved in another foreign conflict.

The letter is a rare instance in which progressives and far-right GOP representatives cross party lines to call for action.

Some of the signees have had disagreements. In November, Gosar posted an edited version of himself killing Ocasio-Cortez. In November, Bush called for the expulsion of three House Republicans, including Gosar, who offered Kyle Rittenhouse an internship after he was found not guilty in the shooting deaths of two men.

Tensions surrounding the Ukraine-Russia crisis have increased. On Tuesday, President Joe Biden warned Russia that the US and its allies would defend every inch of NATO territory.
