US House rebukes Trump on Iran.

[MostBoringManInTheWorld]

It’s time that members of the Republican Party who cannot support their leader (the current POTUS) either vacate their offices or get dragged out of them in chains.

Make it so!

 

[Anathema]

Make it so!

If I had the power to do it unilaterally, it would have happened 30+ years ago. It’s a large part of why I’ve never been a member of the party… their unwillingness to enforce uniformity of policy across the party.

The US House of Representatives delivered a stunning rebuke to Donald Trump over his war on Iran on Wednesday, as representatives backed a move to force him to seek approval from Congress or withdraw US forces.

Anyone who believes Congress can force the Commander in Chief to do anything though the WPA hasn't read the WPA.

All we have here are a few Republicans joining with the monolith of Democrats who will never agree with anything Trump does,

If the President is acting erratically and has no clear strategy and is driving this country deeper and deeper into a quagmire, then Congress has to act.... Trump needs to be stripped of his powers to start and continue wars IMMEDIATELY.

Congress has one, and just one, recourse:
Impeachment and conviction.

 

[M14 Shooter]

True.
Unfortunately the lawless Trump regime is likely to ignore Congress just as it has ignored the courts.

Still lying your ass off, eh?
The WPA does not give Congress the power to order the President to do anything, unless the President agrees to it.

The US House of Representatives delivered a stunning rebuke to Donald Trump over his war on Iran on Wednesday, as representatives backed a move to force him to seek approval from Congress or withdraw US forces.

The House voted 215 to 208 in favor of the war powers resolution, as four Republicans voted with Democrats. The dissident Republicans were Thomas Massie of Kentucky, Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania, Warren Davidson of Ohio and Tom Barrett of Michigan.


Wednesday’s vote came nearly two weeks after House Republicans cancelled an earlier scheduled vote, on the grounds that they lacked the votes to defeat it.

The vote sends the resolution to the Senate, where the chamber must promptly take up the measure under the war powers law. A handful of Senate Republican defectors joined Democrats last month to advance a similar resolution forcing Trump to seek congressional approval after four Republican senators rebelled and voted with the Democrats.


“Following repeated attempts to get sycophants in the Republican-controlled House to join us, House Democrats successfully passed our war powers resolution today to stand up for the American people and hold Donald Trump accountable,” the top three House Democrats – Hakeem Jeffries of New York, Katherine Clark of Massachusetts and Pete Aguilar of California – said in a joint statement. “It is now time for Senate Republicans to do the right thing.”

*******************

It is about friggin time a few members of the GOP actually put American first in this clusterf*** of a war.

Congress needs to assert itself to hold the rogue Trump regime accountable for the mess it has created in the Middle East.

Congress needs to takes its war powers back as the Trump regime has shown it is too inept to be trusted to handle matters of war.

The War Powers Act is unconstitutional, but this is bothersome. I doubt that Trump will pay any attention.

Is it even worth saying that trying to remove options from the President at this critical time is........insane?

Please explain to us how the War Powers Act is unconstitutional...

Mike Johnson isn't a credible source...

 

[M14 Shooter]

Please explain to us how the War Powers Act is unconstitutional...

Simple: Separation of power, Congress exceeding its constitutional authority
Nothing in the constitution gives Congress the power to order the Commander in Chief to order the military to do anything.
Congress can order troops to be pulled out; the President, under his Article II powers as Commander In Chief, can tell them to blow.

MAGA isn't some woke, DEI episode of Star Trek, bro.

We are in it for the long run.

Long Run...

Trump got bored of the war in less than 100 days...

Uh Oh, Trump Is Bored with Iran Peace Talks. You Know What That Means.

"I don't care if they're over, honestly," said the President about Iran peace talks. "I really don't care. I couldn't care less."

How 'bout that soon-to-be new California Governor? What's his name? Steve somethingorother?

Turning blue states red, one at a time.

God bless you, Do really think GOP has a chance in California...

A Democrat can win in Kentucky but MAGA has doomed GOP in any sane place in the world...

I don't think MAGA really get it, they are laughed at around the world... The leader is a joke, a bumbling fool disconnected from reality... MAGA are now considered that last people in the room that gets the joke.

America is waking up to MAGA but there are people in America who have genuine issues with the way US is being run... They are crying out for more equality, respect for the middle class...
They are discovering that blaming immigrants, minorities and poor people for the problems in America is bullshit. Who got the money? Corporate using their lobbyists... Trump incompetence has exposed the shell game...
