Dems to introduce bill barring Trump from preemptive strikes without Congress approval

BY MAX GREENWOOD - 10/25/17 10:04 PM EDT

Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) said Wednesday that he and two other Democratic senators will introduce a bill barring President Trump from launching a preemptive strike on North Korea without congressional consent.

In a string of tweets, Murphy said that the bill would aim to prevent the president from carrying out a strike – either "nuclear or conventional" – unless Congress first approves such a measure.

"Trump's North Korea threats are real. I will intro bill w brianschatz & CoryBooker to prohibit any preemptive action w/o vote by Congress," Murphy tweeted, referring to Sens. Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii) and Cory Booker (D-N.J.).

I am sure that, if Chris Murphy fails, the 9th Circuit Court would wade into the matter in no time.

P!

[piasa]

War Powers Act not good enough for them?

[Spok]

What motivates the Democrats to support nuclear proliferation in North Korea and Iran? Can they really be that clueless?

[ThunderSleeps]

More congress-critters that don’t understand “Commander and Chief” and who have an over-inflated sense of self-importance.

[arthurus]

The Democrats are trying to make it safe for Kim to do what he wants.

[ought-six]

The Dims will be the death of us all.

If they can't win, everything is a fair game including the country they live in.

[dfwgator]

Remember when Bush attacked Iraq and the Rats were complaining that North Korea was the real problem.

[OKSooner]

Like what, like the Senate's gonna pass the same bill, and then Trump's gonna sign it?

These guys can go... you know.

“What motivates the Democrats to support nuclear proliferation in North Korea and Iran?”

Subversion and treason.

[piasa]

Back in Bush’s time the Democrats were pestering him about not going after North Korea...

[Williams]

Note that Cory Booker, who they plan to run for P or VP, is a perverted cancer who hates America.

[lwoodham]

Then Trump should act preemptively and hit North Korea before this bill is voted on.

[piasa]

Democrats believe that the greatest threat to the world is Americans. They define “world” as Socialist International.

Our whole nation would be wiped out before these @ssholes voted on anything.

the gyrations of Dims are fun to watch.

Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) said Wednesday that he and two other Democratic senators will introduce a bill barring President Trump from launching a preemptive strike on North Korea without congressional consent.

Sen. Chris Murphy (Communist-Conn.) worked overtime to ensure that Obama was able to strengthen America's enemies, such as the Iranian mullahs, while weakening America's allies.

Gosh, it's almost as if Sen. Chris Murphy (Idiot-Conn.) hates America and has been working tirelessly to destroy it. Hmmm...

[ameribbean expat]

And Congress has found a way to create a shakedown opportunity out of the North Korean standoff. Amazing.
