Congress passes resolution to restrain Trump on Iran

Both chambers of the US Congress on Wednesday gave final approval to a resolution to restrain President Donald Trump from attacking Iran. The vote comes after months of soaring tensions between the US and Iran.

The House of Representatives voted 227-186 to join the Senate in support of the resolution. The measure would prevent any military action against Iran without Congress voting for it explicitly.

However, the resolution is likely to be vetoed by Trump, due to the lack of a majority within the Democratic Party and divergent Republicans. […]

The resolution “sends a clear message that American people don’t want war with Iran and that Congress has not authorized war with Iran,” said Rep. Eliot Engel, a New York Democrat and chairman of the House of Foreign Affairs Committee. …

Irrelevant.

Foreign affairs, other than declaration of war, is 100% under the purview of the Executive Branch.

But Congress, particularly the House, is not known for knowledge of the Constitution.

It’s like a person handing their spouse what they think is an edict.

Then reality sets in...

Those reckless Congress fools better realize that they failed to pass legislation forbidding POTUS-45 to wage war on THEM

It’s not like the president sets foreign policy or anything.

I wonder what they don’t want getting out.

So its open season for Iran again on American troops and personnel in the ME as long ad they only pick off a few soldiers here and there via rocket attacks, mortars from drones, and drone carrying missiles or bombs, suicide attacks and IEDs - all welcome and carrying no US response. The entire US Congress must be on drugs.

Just think , they cant count look at iowa, they are incoherent and adrift look at the campaigns and debates, they are clouded in anger and hate and cant get trump out of their empty heads, they have no plan even before corona hit, Obama and biden did a dreadfully wonderful job with the swine flu and the media did an even better job by not reporting the deaths form it. These are the people we want to lead us for the next 4 years? WE NEED THE HOUSE BACK. This is the wake up call time to make the donuts

The President is CIC.

He can order operation after operation without the dimbulbs’ approval.

He has already said he can’t share sensitive information with dems anymore. He can do whateverthehell he wants and when ScatFranNan caterwauls, *I can’t tell you, it’s a secret for the grownups*.
