That resolution, plus $5, will get you a foot-long at Subway.

So, are they going to put this forward as a Concurrent or Simple Resolution?

Either way, it doesn’t look binding.

Saw that Mike Lee and Rand Paul were pretty dissatisfied with the briefing given this PM and are not buying the administration’s story on the ‘urgency’ needed to take out the Iranian General. Both have apparently announced they will vote to support the Slotkin/Pelosi resolution/bill/what have you.

If it’s a Simple Resolution, it could very well pass majority vote in the House and Senate. Not sure how binding it is upon a President, however unless it’s a formal bill. No way on earth POTUS would sign a bill, though, so this is all most likely theatrics.

Thanks for your post...

I’ve been wondering if this so called resolution goes to the Senate then to the POTUS desk...

So actually it is a waste of time and will go no future than the HOUSE..SO IT IS JUST MORE LIBERAL FAIRY TALES AND BULL SHIT, and a waste of time and more Nancy type stalling of the so called impeachment full shit.

Yup. They’re just reminding their compatriots in Iran which side they are on.

Yes--Nancy getting sloshed at a California party while President Trump is taking care of terrorist business.

Meanwhile, Pelosi's ludicrous anti-American resolution is just San Fran Nan and her Dem clown-show performing for their mindless minions on the Left.

A totally meaningless display of empty-headedness.

Another great campaigning point for the GOP to retake the House in November.

Presidents must be able to make the call in a moment in cases like this.

This won’t pass Constitutional muster.

Put your people with different views up against him and let the people decide.

You simply cannot deny the president the right to defend this nation when moments count.

House Democrats like terrorism and yearn for the stone age.

I agree with you. I don't recall the original resolution ever being tested in the SCOTUS.

The resolution directs the president to end the use of U.S. armed forces to engage in hostilities in or against Iran unless Congress has formally authorized it or if there is an "imminent armed attack upon the United States." It was introduced on Wednesday by freshman Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich.), a former CIA analyst who served three tours in Iraq and represents a competitive district.

I'm sorry but this bitch Slotkin was never in the Armed Forces. How could she have "served" three tours in Iraq?

I’ve often said liberals live in
a parallel universe that rarely if ever intersects with reality.
