Democrats Draft Resolution To Limit President Trump’s War Powers
2020-01-06
[OANN] Senate Democrats are seeking to curb President Trump’s war powers in retaliation for his initiation of the dronezap that killed Iranian General Qasem Soleimani.

Sen. Dick Durbin
...Senator-for-Life from Illinois and Democratic Party Whip. In April 2006, Time magazine identified Durbin as one of America's 10 Best Senators, so what's that tell you? He was the first United States Senator to support the presidential candidacy of Barack Obama, then the junior senator from Illinois...
 and Sen. Tim Kaine are cosponsoring a resolution that would force the administration to withdraw all troops from Iran, unless Congress itself declares war.
We have troops in Iran?
"I will file a resolution, pursuant to the War Powers Act of 1974, to try to force Congress to have a debate about whether or not it is in the United States’ best interest to be in a war with Iran," stated Durbin. "We can’t let the president make this decision on his own."

#2  to withdraw all troops from Iran

Has Trump's magical mind-meld weapon warped these people's brains?

Are they incapable of seeing night from day, up from down, Iran from Iraq?

Trump doesn't WANT us to be in Iraq.

He DOES want us to seek, punish and destroy this who like Suleimani actively seek to attack us or have already attacked us.

Our Congress is full of retards. What is wrong with this nation that we continue to elevate so many of these fools to positions of power?

#1  Can the President dissolve any of the chambers if a majority of its members is for surrendering to a foreign power, or demonstrably support enemy interests ? Should be debated.
