Rand paul.....what a pizza chit

How will they stop Trump?
The usual three plus two more:
Sens. Susan Collins of Maine, Josh Hawley of Missouri, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Rand Paul of Kentucky and Todd Young of Indiana.
Won’t get cloture.
Only to fail in the House?
Yup.
Waste of time.
ust how is this “War,” geniuses? that is low-IQ Dem-type “think.” oy.
Pay attention, gang. They are not who they say they are and they will always be ready to supply enough votes to make sure that the dems get to really control the agenda in general and to stymie Trump in particular.
Check all of their income sources! Did Trump cut some off?
Trump could veto, no?
Rand Paul has been funded by Maduro in Venezuela
This is the worst moment to be weakening Trump’s negotiating position, just as he is trying to break up logjams and long stale status quos that needed refreshing and new angles.
F’n RINO’s..... can always be counted on to throw a monkey wrench into the works.
so far, the Venezuela action looks very promising (and was carried out excellently from the reports)
it might even help slow the smuggling of killer-drugs into USA, something we desperately need to achieve
we will see.
right now, I believe these five GOP-E votes were, at the least, premature
The are only two "war powers" in the Constitution:
That's it. Congress can declare war, and Congress can approve states engaging in war.
The President, as Commander-in-Chief, has Article II Section 2 plenary powers to use the military as he wishes. He doesn't need the permission of Congress, or else we'd have a Congress-in-Chief where the President becomes a lesser officer.
Congress can declare war, but that doesn't obligate the Commander-in-Chief to wage that war, either. The President could choose to use diplomacy to de-escalate tensions and never act on Congress' declaration of war.
The Article I Section 8 power of Congress to "declare war" is not a check on the President's power to use the military. The proper check is the Article I Section 8 Clause 12 power:
To raise and support Armies, but no Appropriation of Money to that Use shall be for a longer Term than two Years;
The power of Congress to defund the army was the check on an adventurous President who is misusing the military. A president has a two-year window to use the military before Congress must reauthorize the funding for the military for another two years.
That is how Congress oversees the president's use of military power.

Typical leftist slant that too many of our fellow citizens will miss. It is Trump who is ending the hostile actions directed against U.S. citizens by that South American nation.
The way things are going in some of our states, we can expect the day when Red states will throw away their convenient, self-serving "Blue state" label and proudly proclaim they are indeed Red states.
The republican party is hopeless and needs replacing. They can’t even support our President when our country needs it most. You can’t primary an entire party.
The War Powers Act is unconstitutional, so this is meaningless.
That POS Senator Todd Young from my state of Indiana was one of the turncoats involved in this vote.
These VERY WEAK legislators must go. Our nation’s freedom hangs in the balance.
And the President must sign it!!!!!
