Senate Democrats have filed legislation that would stop the U.S. from going to war with Cuba without congressional approval as President Trump has threatened a “takeover” of the country.
Democratic Sens. Tim Kaine (Va.), Ruben Gallego (Ariz.) and Adam Schiff (Calif.) on Thursday filed the war powers resolution, which could receive a vote by the end of the month.
The resolution comes as Trump has said the U.S. could carry out a “friendly” or “not friendly takeover” of Cuba, predicting the collapse of the 67-year communist rule under pressure from the U.S.
“Only Congress has the power to declare war under the Constitution, but [Trump] operates with the belief that the U.S. military is a palace guard, ordering military action in the Caribbean, Venezuela, and Iran without Congress’ authorization or any explanation for his actions to the American people,” Kaine said in a statement to The Hill. “We shouldn’t risk our sons and daughters’ lives at the whims of any one person.”

It just takes one senator to gum up the works.
Maybe problems are being taken care of while the filibuster scam is still on.
Nice of them to prove that they’re on the side of Communism.
They sure love communism.
Why do Democrats hate America so violently?
Barking up the wrong tree and they don’t even know it.
I saw him in persona few years back. I was working the graduation at ODU and he was the guest speaker. He came in through the door I was watching.
I said hello to him. I was so tempted to ask him what he really thought of Hillary. Did she really smell like cabbage ?
It's like....your agenda is showing.
As socialists, the status quo is always oppressive and evil and must be “fixed” to “progress” towards more and more socialism. This fact basically explains why they do everything they do and don’t/refuse to do.
Perfect time to take Greenland.
“...Senate Democrats have filed legislation that would stop the U.S. from going to war...”
That’s a play on words. The president doesn’t go to war. He initiates action based upon the War Powers Act.
The War Powers Resolution of 1973 (50 U.S.C. 1541-1548) is a federal law designed to check the President’s power to commit U.S. armed forces to armed conflict without congressional consent. It requires the President to notify Congress within 48 hours of deploying troops and mandates their withdrawal within 60–90 days unless Congress declares war to authorize further action. Doesn’t mean congress can stop the president, just puts rules on the engagement as to when he goes in and the last of the time he has to get out.
So can they stop him...no. Congress just wasted your tax dollars doing something to try to BS the citizens.

I thought this was going to be from the Bee.
Yeh, that’ll stop him! 😅
It's not just America, it's any country that is based on meritocracy. Demos come up a little short when it comes to merit.
Anyway, he isn’t going to war with Cuba. And like Venezuela post-Maduro, they are going to “invite” us in.
Yeah, they don’t seem to mind American money, do they?
LOL!
Satan inspires them to hate free nations
no law can overrule the constitution.
They could pass a law limiting Supreme Court judges to 10 years, but it would be unconstitutional. It is the same with the war powers act
John F Kennedy, really appreciates your feckless bull$hit.
