This is Trump’s plan.
It isn’t Ted’s plan.
Ted has been in the Senate for what, four years, more?
When did Ted submit a bill to the floor to move our embassy to Jerusalem before this?
Now Ted does it before Trump is even sworn in. I still say Ted is trying to preempt Trump here.
I don’t like it one bit.
The Jerusalem Embassy Act has been US law since 1995. The text allows the president to waive the embassy move.
A few years ago, Congress tried to remove the waiver, but it failed.
Trump would not seem to need further authorization from Congress.
Hard to know what Cruz is proposing without the exact text, but it does look like he’s grandstanding.
