Rep. Jason Crow (CO-06) helped introduced the Foreign Influence Reporting in Elections (FIRE) Act, a bill that would help prevent foreign interference in U.S. elections by requiring political campaigns to report attempts by foreigners to influence U.S. elections to the Federal Election Commission (FEC) and then the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).

For the most part, Congress has accepted this. But as Trump-administration officials talk ever tougher about Iran, many Capitol Hill Democrats, and some Republicans, fear that the confrontation could spin out of control into a devastating conflict. And now they're trying to claw back some of the power that the president—whom they view as dangerous and reckless—has to declare war.
