"He should not have done this without coming to Congress," Kaine said.
The strikes took place around 8:40 p.m. Eastern time Thursday night and were only confirmed following the attack. While some members of Congress were notified of the strikes, the majority found out through press reports, Kaine said.
That's unacceptable under the Constitution, the Virginia Democrat said.

Your governor, too! A three-fer in the once lovely, great state of Virginia. So sad.

Someone in the msm are already reporting 4 kids killed in the airbase strikes. I predicted this yesterday, that they’d report this whether true or not.
Anything to discredit Trump.

Hillary said that we should do what Trump did. Would this snake be criticizing Hillary now?

Dear Lord,
Thank you so much for helping us elect Donald Trump as president, thereby avoiding the Killary/Kaine disaster.
Amen

I guess that those who are finding fault with Trump now would rather have Hillary and Kaine in charge.

He doesn’t have permission. Unless one interprets the post 9/11 authorization of force, as approval to join in the Syrian civil war, (which we started in the first place). And also if one basically says the constitution doesn’t mean what it says.

When it comes to defending lives and freedom, the Virginia Democrat pretends to be all about the Constitution. When it comes to his own political career, as far as the Constitution is concerned, fugeddabouddit.

I hope he was consistent and called out Bill Clinton for similar strikes without Congressional approval in the 1990s. I don’t remember the Democrats claiming that the president didn’t have such powers then—or for most of the other 150+ air strikes ordered by various presidents without Congressional approval. It’s fascinating how for the first time in his life Timmy has become a Constitutionalist.

Thanks Virginia for foisted this moron onto the National Stage. Trump really needs to drain DC of about 30k Federal parasites. Maybe then Virginia will come back into play for Republicans.

Who gives a crap what this bum says. Trump is the Commander in Chief. He did not invade any where. He struck in defense of those people and Israel in my opinion. So, to hell with the dims and the RINO punks.
