President Trump didn’t declare war on Syria. He exercised his CIC powers properly in this instance as laid out in the War Powers Act.
Why have a president, just send everything into a committee.
Distinction without a difference. Congress approved Iraq.
Agreed. Kaine is actually right on something here.
The informal rule seems to be “one free bombing”, because this clearly wasn’t some sort of national emergency that couldn’t wait for Congress to convene and bless a war.
Let’s hope this was it, it is over with, and Trump hasn’t been turned uniparty neocon on us.
Molly Yard’s slogan, on anything a conservative, a Republican, a Christian, or any combination thereof might say or do, was, “I am OUTRAGED!” Your handle suggests she might have been kinfolk? What a way to go through life; promoting outrage.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I’m offended by your virtue signaling!! /s
lol
CNN was on the gym so i was forced to watch it...they were somber- Trump succeeded...
Reductio ad absurdum. I’m sure you used the same “argument” when Obama and Clinton did it.
Not to put too fine a point on it, but I think WWII was the last time. Korea and Nam, no. Iraq, no. They “authorized the use if force” in Kuwait and then Iraq and Afghanistan. IIRC.
Ha! That was exactly what I was thinking of when I say the title. Short Bus Timmy.
Before the strikes, even Hillary seek we need to strike the airports.
Uhhh. It's. It's. Uhhh....
...."About Jobs", yeah that's it.
"We have no opinion on your Arab-Arab conflicts, such as your dispute with Kuwait. Secretary Baker has directed me to emphasize the instruction, first given to Iraq in the 1960s, that the Kuwait issue is not associated with America."
Bidness....

....As Usual.
>>To the best of my knowledge the last time congress actually declared war was WWII.
The Iraq AUMF was a declaration of war in everything but explicit name.
And its breaking news that this has-been is talking about Syria because?
Congress authorized the Iraq war. I think that was the last one.
I believe you are correct. Congress authorized the use of force. That is a declaration of war. Of course, we were already at war with Iraq, it was only a ceasefire that was changed. Technically we were only continuing the first Gulf War.
“Breaking news”????????????????
>>Before the strikes, even Hillary seek we need to strike the airports.
This...

...Hillary?
She and her Bidness pardners got a buyer line up for Syria’s goodies yet?
“Distinction without a difference. Congress approved Iraq.”
Nope. I believe the President should force congress to declare war, not some kind of police action like Korea.
Unconditional surrender needs to be the standard.
As I said, I actually almost agree with Kaine, force congress to declare war.
