The House Dems are at it again attacking Trump. This time they are angry that Trump did not consult with them before going after Soleimani. They feel he put everyone in danger by taking out Soleimani. I guess House Dems are against killing terrorists now?
“Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced plans for the House to vote Thursday on a War Powers Resolution that aims to limit President Trump’s military action toward Iran, saying Democrats have “serious, urgent concerns about the administration’s decision to engage in hostilities against Iran and about its lack of strategy moving forward.”
The Democrat-authored resolution would reassert congressional authority and rebuke Trump’s decision to take out Iran’s top general without their consent. Pelosi said the resolution will go to the House Rules Committee on Wednesday and will be brought to the floor for a vote Thursday.
“Last week, the Trump administration conducted a provocative and disproportionate military airstrike targeting high-level Iranian military officials,” Pelosi said. “The administration took this action without consulting Congress. This action endangered our service members, diplomats and others by risking a serious escalation of tensions with Iran.”
Fox News obtained the text of the resolution the House is prepping for debate on the floor. The resolution “requires the president to consult with Congress ‘in every possible instance’ before introducing the United States Armed Forces into hostilities.”
“The measure also appears to handcuff Trump when it comes to future strikes. The resolution says “Congress has not authorized the president to use military force against Iran.” The measure also “directs the president to terminate the use of United States Armed Forces to engage in hostilities in or against Iran or any part of its government or military” unless there is a specific blessing by Congress.
In other words, the plan would have specifically forbidden the drone strike ordered last week that killed Gen. Qassem Soleimani.”
“Republican leadership aides argued to Fox News that this War Powers Resolution is “toothless,” saying it has “NO chance of becoming law.” They noted how it is a “concurrent” resolution – [a legislative maneuver that is] not submitted to the president and do not have the force of law.”
These House Dems are just relentless. They have been going after Trump since he entered office. Trump defended America as he is supposed to. The House Dems are likely just angry that he is standing up for America. They fail to realize that there is more than one way to keep the peace and sometimes foreign countries need “the stick” to be reminded not to mess with us.
Dem/commies are pathetic in their endeavor to restrain his power to decide when in fact they changed the law years back to “give” that exact power to the president when it was a dem/commie president. They don’t like anything positive done for the USA because they want socialism soooo bad and to turn us into a third world nation. Just look at lib controlled cities, over taxed dirty places with thousands of homeless people. KAG!
elections.will determine if the people want Trumps power curtailed, that, also. will determine the majority of congress, I would say these pukes are at risk of losing their majority big time.. The people will decide. Not Pelosi, Schiff, Nadler, Shumer, they are communists, liars, crooks, and hypocrits. No place in gov’t for them, not at all…..
Now for those who say they want the Constitution followed then rebel against what the Constitution spells out does seem a very stupid statement. Now the Constitution says Congress is the only one who can authorize such actions that is why we have what is called a Gang of 8, people with the clearances and knowledge on the subject. If anyone thinks that taking out one terrorist leader will stop or even slow down anything they are completely wrong for every terrorist leader killed the estimate is about 100 new terrorist are formed because of the killing. Negotiations with the heads is the only way to stop terrorism, and all who are experts in that field have said so many times, Force normally is repaid theough fordce which settles nothing unless you consider killing one person is a jack pot win.
Join the discussion…Congress only has to be consulted in a former declaration of war. Negotiations is not in the playbook of terrorists. Terrorists believe only in the eye for eye, tooth for tooth ideology.
We all wanted to take away a muslim fake president because he hated America and he was born in Kenya and was instrumental in the death of 4 good Americans in Benghazi.
Not to mention the gun walking fiasco with the cartels in mexico, no telling how many deaths resulted in this cluster frack, Handled like a bunch of kids. Governing my azzz, worse in our history… .
Soooo we the people elect our President, and the elite overbearing dick taters say we don;’t have that right, they think they are more important than the people. Nancy can kiss my foot, my knee, or a little higher. Maybe we need to get her a crown, as she is acting like a monarch rather than a “hahahaha representative of the people.”
Nancy and Chuckie, now that is a pair of jokers to draw to.
Do they still shoot traitors? If so there needs to be some cleared out in DC. Pelosi and her ilk are setting up the next democratic president for a real hard time if republicans hold the house and a worse time if they hold both house and senate. Just think, we can impeach them for nothing and vote to remove their powers so they are just figure heads.
They need to build the gallows and start hanging all the traitors we now have in congress along with Oshitter,Killary,Lynch,Comey and all responsible for the Steele dossier!!!!! Thes horrible demrats will not let the president do his job ,they need to go!!!
May all you who hate our President, our God and our country, I pray that you burn in hell. I have lived a lot of years in this great country, and there has NEVER been this vile hatred of other Americans until the btard child Obama got into office, I pray that God makes him pay for the hatred he stirred up of Americans against Americans. Nancy, in my opinion you are a total disgrace to the Catholic church, that you claim to be a member of. You spew your hatred like a drunken sailor who can’t who can’t hold his liquor, and you spew your hatred from the lowest hottest bowels of hell. It is a wonder no Priest has condemned you for your hatred of our President and our country.
Join the discussion…I agree with you. The races were getting along well and, working together with each other for the good of the country. When Obama became President he deliberately resurrected racial tensions in an attempt to replace our Democracy with a Socialist/ Communist disaster.
This is just another attempt by Democrats with the blessings of their left wing rulers to take over the whole government by diluting the system of checks and balances set forth in the constitution: especially for the powers designated to the president. Sure looks like an attempted cue to me. We know the left and their buddies in the deep state have been trying to overthrow the results of the 2016 election.
She may try, but the constitution spells it out. This fucking cunt thinks she can change everything.
