"We wish to emphasize that no congressional authority exists for unilateral military action against Iran," it continues..
Among the thirty members who signed, Senators James Webb, John Kerry, Robert Byrd, Dick Durbin, Hillary Rodham Clinton, Chris Dodd, Patrick Leahy, Dianne Feinstein, Herb Kohl, Byron Dorgin, Jack Reed, Max Baucus, Debbie Stabenow, Claire McCaskill, Daniel Ikaka, Barbara Boxer, Daniel Akaka, Tom Harkin, Thomas Carper (D-DE), Amy Klobuchar, Jay Rockefeller, Robert Casey, Maria Cantwell, Patty Murray, Sheldon Whitehouse ..."
