Hahaha, Trump is literally one of a handful of people who didn’t want to attack

Fine. If Iran does something, it's on you, Congress.

HA! Riiiiiight. If Iran does something, they'll pin it on President Trump and accuse him of doing nothing.

I’m sure the Muslims in Congress don’t want to see US bombs falling on a Muslim country.

“They just hit Detroit with a nuke!”

“No loss”

“But Mr President, are we going to retaliate?”

“I hope so, but right now there must be one hell of a debate over the possibility of going to war. We’ll know in a few days unless Congress goes on its scheduled recess.”

“But, Sir!”

“I know back in the good old days I’d a given the OK and we’d a clobbered them, but now we’ll likely have to take a few more hits before Congress finishes its debate and gives the OK. But you know full well some liberal judge will over rule them, halting all retaliation as ‘racist’ or something.”

“provision that would require the president”

I imagine President with a capital “P” is in the NYT Style Guide, but maybe they carved out an exception for President Trump. Likewise, they ought to say “a President”, unless Congress had the gall to pass a bill that only applies to the current Administration.

Good.

No President, Trump included, has the authority to take us to war without the consent of the people (House) and the States (Senate).

In 1941, the Congress used the words “authorize and direct the President” to utilize the Army and the Navy to wage war on Japan.

That is the correct way to use the authority granted to the Congress.

I thought the President has the authority to use military force when he sees fit, but withing 60 day the Congress is obligated to give a ‘yea’ or ‘nay’.

Or did that change?

LOL.

This reminds me of some leftist site (can’t remember which one) that tried a few weeks ago to suggest that Trump was out of control and pushing for war with Iran.

They really don’t know how to handle a President that isn’t a hawk.
