That decision, however wrong, is behind us, and the question now is where the United States should go from here, given the situation in which we find ourselves. To help guide future actions, we offer these principles.

The best chance of preventing President Trump from acting on his threats to attack civilian targets in Iran so that in his words “(a) whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again” is for Republican members of Congress to speak out clearly and immediately.

According to the 22nd Amendment of the Constitution, President Trump is forbidden from being elected more than twice. That changes everything.
