WASHINGTON, DC - APRIL 27: Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) speaks at a Student Loan Forgiveness rally on Pennsylvania Avenue and 17th street near the White House on April 27, 2022 in Washington, DC. Student loan activists including college students held the rally to celebrate U.S. President Joe Biden's extension of the pause on student loans and also urge him to sign an executive order that would fully cancel all student debt.

Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) is being mocked after accusing President Joe Biden of violating the Constitution.

On Thursday night, Tlaib blasted strikes on Iranian-backed Houthi militants in Yemen that were carried out by the United States and the United Kingdom.

“[Biden] is violating Article I of the Constitution by carrying out airstrikes in Yemen without congressional approval,” the Michigan Democrat wrote on X, formerly Twitter.

Tlaib added, “The American people are tired of endless war.”

Her post refers to the Constitution giving Congress, not the president, the power to declare war.

However, several users on X pointed to laws that give presidents the ability to direct the use of military force — with certain restrictions.

Conservative commentator Stephen Miller suggested if Tlaib believes Biden violated the Constitution, she should “[f]ile articles of impeachment. Get off TwitterX and just do that. Report back.”

File articles of impeachment. Get off TwitterX and just do that. Report back. https://t.co/gOouvsaKsL

“Nah. As long as he notifies Congress within 48 hours, it’s legal,” another user wrote.

You are just mad he’s bombing your terrorist friends. https://t.co/sNYVLmDoCH

— Bonchie (@bonchieredstate) January 12, 2024

Meanwhile, another user asked, “So when will you introduce the impeachment articles?”

Former Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) also denied Biden violated the Constitution before asking, “Curious, did you condemn the Houthis when they shot missiles at Israel? At our ships? At international ships? Or do you just attack Israel for defending itself?”

No he’s not. Curious, did you condemn the Houthis when they shot missiles at Israel? At our ships? At international ships?

Or do you just attack Israel for defending itself? https://t.co/PvsvVc6EQK

“Member of Congress showing she doesn’t know how the Constitution works,” The Atlantic’s Tom Nichols wrote.

The Daily Wire’s Ben Shapiro wrote her post was “idiotic” and he added, “[Biden] has inherent authority for these strikes, and his Congressional restrictions are spelled out by the War Powers Act.”

Just pretend he's relieving student loan debt or mandating the vaccine. You were good on all that.

And btw, this is idiotic. He has inherent authority for these strikes, and his Congressional restrictions are spelled out by the War Powers Act. https://t.co/XxLz756vMK

On Thursday, U.S. Air Force’s Mideast command revealed over 60 targets were hit, including “command-and-control nodes, munitions depots, launching systems, production facilities and air defense radar systems.”

The strikes on Houthi militants in Yemen came as the group has been carrying out missile and drone strikes on commercial ships in the Red Sea, putting trade routes in danger.

According to the Associated Press, Houthi militants have carried out 27 attacks since Nov. 19 in what the group says is an effort to pressure Israel to end its war on Hamas — the terrorist group that carried out the Oct. 7 terrorist attacks. The AP points out the targets of the attacks in the Red Sea have rarely had links to Israel.
