Its amazing that this requires a Congressional intervention.

950,000 barrels is chicken feed.

Well, I guess it is more than I thought. We make about 11.5 mmbo per day.

Isn't it sad that the Senate needs to tell the President to stop committing treason? The SOR was started to allow for a stockpile of oil for our Navy in case of war. The Navy still depends on oil (and av gas) to defend our nation.
So....here's our inept, compromised, and demented President selling our SOR - in part - to China as we prepare our Navy to fight them in the South China Sea when/if China attacks Taiwan.
BTW, it is apparent and/or a strong possibilty that Hunter (and possibly other pols) makes money on the oil transactions with China.
We are stupid!

Its a piquant blend of chicken feed and horrible optics.

8% equivalent to our daily production. More than I thought.

As a Wyoming conservative this sort of nonsense aggravates me. It's political theater, nothing more. In a free market if one party doesn't sell to China, another will. If we pass on a deal with China and instead sell to Brazil or to a domestic buyer for example, some other oil seller who would have sold to those parties winds up dealing with China instead.
I want politicians that do meaningful things to uphold American liberty. Not meaningless things. This just wastes time, taxpayer money and falsely gives conservatives the impression we are "doing something." We are not.
To: Hamiltonian
They can introduce bills all day long. You need a majority to pass it and a president that won’t veto it. Theater.

Nice idea, but sorry it’s a waste of time. Who is going to sign the bill if it passes both houses of Congress? Perhaps the good Senator could devote his efforts to delay or derail the latest boondoggle, you know the ‘Inflation bill’.

Yes, except that this involves the Strategic Petroleum Reserve.

Wonder who would vote against the bill going into the election.

It's still meaningless. A better answer would be to say "the SPR was not meant to be a politician's personal slush fund." It's meant for much more serious and non-partisan conditions. Congress, as the author of all legitimate legislation (Constitution section 1, article 1, paragraph 1, sentence 1) should have defined the legitimate purposes for which the SPR could be tapped and should hold the executive office to account.
But they won't.
To: Hamiltonian
With the GOP in the minority NOTHING will come of it.
This illegitimate POS in the White House MUST be removed by force

A necessary, but, useless exercise.

Hard to believe it’s not already illegal to sell out America
