Tim Kaine: Trump has no congressional authorization for Syria strike
The Washington Examiner ^ | April 7, 2017 | Kyle Feldscher

Posted on 04/07/2017 7:11:00 AM PDT by kevcol

"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.

And Hillary didn’t have Congressional approval to order the Muzzie attack on Benghazi. . . . :)

"Does he know Schumer and Pelosi indicated approval of this action?? Does he know that the president as commander in chief, has authority to take such actions? What the heck is he saying this is unconstitutional, when he knows better?"

A little slow isn't he? Is he the product of a common-core education?

Timmy, you are off the reservation! Didn’t you hear that both Nancy Pelosi and Senator Schumer have endorsed Trump’s decision to bomb the Syrian aircraft? Please try to keep up with the rest of the class.

The only people who knew about it were the ones who NEEDED to know. Trump already knows there are leakers in Congress and if he had gone through the bother of the full congressional authority route, someone would have tipped off the press and Syria would have been prepared to counter an attack. Not only that, as bloodthirsty as Assad is, I wouldn't put it past him to plant some unsuspecting family members of the Syrian military to be killed by American bombs so that he could make a big political deal out of it and condemn Trump as a baby-killer. Trump did the right thing and I hope Kaine and his fellow Libtards twist in the wind. They don't deserve his trust.

“Tim Kaine is a piece of work isn’t he???”

Aaaanndd the survey says...?

Piece of something, yes, but “work” isn’t the Top Answer on the board.

Those Utopians, like Tim Kaine, live in their impossible imaginary worlds. The utmost important thing to these Left loons is to feel good about themselves. If it takes lies to do that then truth be damned.

I was wondering that myself.

I’d bet half the farm that Tim Kaine never once criticized Obama’s military strikes without seeking congressional approval.

And Richmond too.

The democrats in Virginia have been diverting money to favor big leftist cities at the expense of everyone else.

Well ‘said’.

Loose lips sink ships, and few lips are looser than those of leftists and the millienials they have brainwashed.

I’m not agreeing with Kaine but I do believe that Congress should declare war when we are going to commit troops or carry out an an offensive act against a country that is not in the process of threatening the USA. The Constitution is not just a piece of paper and Congress needs to do their job of oversight.

You sometimes can’t wait on Congress or risk leaks on military operations such as this was...

What Trump did was not against the Constitution...Consider the War Powers Act...
