You think that what happened in Syria constituted a national emergency? How far up Trump's ass are you?There was no national emergency created by an attack.Are you familiar with section 2(C) of the War Powers Resolution. You should be. Read it and tell us again how Trump was not in violation of the constitution.Do you know the flight time for a submarine-launched cruise missile launched off the east coast to Washington DC? I do!
By the time anyone got the word and started heading for the door, they would never need a nightlight because they would glow in the dark for whatever minutes or seconds they had to live if the initial blast did not kill them!
What if Congress was on recess in their home districts and states? What do you do then?
That is the type of idiocy you are proposing.
You need a user name change. Ignorant Patriot would be appropriate.
(c) The constitutional powers of the President as Commander-in-Chief to introduce United States Armed Forces into hostilities, or into situations where imminent involvement in hostilities is clearly indicated by the circumstances, are exercised only pursuant to (1) a declaration of war, (2) specific statutory authorization, or (3) a national emergency created by attack upon the United States, its territories or possessions, or its armed forces.
We have armed forces in Syria. Allowing Syria to maintain its chemical weapons capability was a threat to them also.
Besides, Congress would be on CNN laying out the plans within 5 minutes of being notified.
In your opinion. Take Trump to court and see how well you fare!
Did Bill Clinton get authorization for his cruise missile attacks in Somalia and Afghanistan?
Let me ask you what would have happened if that Syrian plan decided to drop the bomb on the US Special Forces units in Syria?
