Where’s Mitt? I though for sure he would be on that list.

I wouldn’t vote for it, because any time you pre-emptively limit the president’s powers, you embolden the enemy, which is dangerous, but I agree with the idea of not going into a ground war with anyone in the middle east unless it’s an absolute last-resort necessity.

An absence of fidelity.

That said, Trump will just veto this legislation and it would take 2/3 of both houses of congress to override.

Jerry Moran you NEVER hear his name unless he involved with stupid crap like this.

Truly Worthless.

Why vote on this, we are NOT going to war with Iran..so this is what the Senate wastes their time with, voting on something that hasn’t even happened and wont happen

I'd say that it's unconstitutional. Declaring was is NOT the same thing as making war.

IIRC, Nam was not declared. Korea was not declared

Who cares? So they slapped Trump on the wrist. The War Powers resolution isn’t going anywhere.

A resolution is not legislation; doesn’t mean a thing to curb the power of the president.

It wasn’t these 9 Republicans who “curbed Trump’s war powers.”

It was the Founding Fathers. The Constitution gives the power to launch war with Congress, not the President. I like Trump, but he has to abide by the Constitution.

The Founders didn’t like the way European kings could - on their own - commit their nations to war. The Founders set up a Republic, where the legislative body was given that awesome responsibility.

Such measures have zero practical or constitutional effect. It’s just more b s

All of this is a silly trifle. Trump’s not marching us off to war, and it’s goofy to pretend he is. He’s the anti-war president.

These same senators would never vote to limit Obama to anything.

Mitch, get rid of these cowards.

Todd Young just got an ear full from me. I don’t care that it was a “resolution”.
