It just goes from bad to worse for Pelosi and the Hysterical House Dems, and they keep doing the same petulant silliness over and over. Pelosi will be remembered as the weakest Dem of all time.
Congrats Nancy.
The resolution to limit Trump's war powers is nothing but an empty political gesture
I’m all for Congress regaining its constitutional role regarding war and trade.
However, the approval by President Donald Trump of the targeted killing of Qasem Soleimani, head of the Iranian Quds Force, isn’t an example of presidential usurpation of Congress’ power to decide when to engage in combat.
Instead, it was a tactical battlefield decision in a military engagement clearly authorized by Congress, and it fell fully within the president’s authority as commander in chief.
Instead of demonstrating a long overdue reassertion of its constitutional right, and duty, to declare war, the War Powers Resolution passed by the House and being considered by the Senate in response to the Soleimani killing further illustrates the unseriousness of Congress. It’s a political exercise, not a true reinvigoration of the separation of powers.
