The time has come for Mike Johnson to grow a pair.
I can’t imagine the constitutionality of this. Didn’t know the legislative branch could write in specific text to hobble a potential future president.
If that were constitutional why stop with Ukraine funding? Hell how about they just pass as many bills as they can and stipulate Trump gets impeached if he tries to reverse any of them.
No southern border security provisions Ukraine launder matt still wide open for the good old boy club?.
Really surprised re Kennedy.
Just rewriting the laws to target PDJT. It seems to be the thing these days.
John Kennedy (R-LA)
Fog brain and fog horn.
This legislation won’t hold up in the Courts. Totally illegal.
The point of impeaching Trump if he defunded the Ukraine war is moot. The democrats will never, ever allow him to take office. Their complete control of the country is at stake and they can’t leave it up to the voters.
What happens if Trump limits the spending to $1 per year?
NO BIG DEAL, Trump just needs to sign an Executive order conscripting the blood relatives of all Non Military Federal Employee’s between the age of 17-35, give them 2 weeks training and send them straight to the Front Lines in Ukraine. AND DO IT!!!
Will this bill need to go through the House?
Thieving-Lying-CRIMINAL-Government BUMP
Really surprised re Kennedy.
You and me both!!
I’m not at all surprised that Thune and Rounds voted for it
CORRECT. This wouldn’t mean a thing.
Looks like some excellent impeachment material for all of those ahos.
"I can’t imagine the constitutionality of this. Didn’t know the legislative branch could write in specific text to hobble a potential future president."
It's a desperate Democratic and RINO anti-Trump election year stunt imo, probably intended to make hopeful Trump 47 look helpless in the eyes of constitutionally clueless, post-17th Amendment ratification voters.
In fact, note that peacetime taxpayer dollars for foreign aid are unconstitutional, evidenced by the following clarification by Justice Joseph Story.
“ If the tax be not proposed for the common defence, or general welfare, but for other objects, wholly extraneous, (as for instance, for propagating Mahometanism among the Turks, or giving aids and subsidies to a foreign nation, to build palaces for its kings, or erect monuments to its heroes,) it would be wholly indefensible upon constitutional principles [emphases added].” — Justice Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution 2 (1833).
Democratic and Republican Trump supporters need to immediately primary all incumbent state and federal lawmakers up for reelection this year, replacing them with Constitution-respecting patriots who will support hopeful Trump 47 to finish draining the swamp.
Lets see if it’s DOA in the house
