Senate blocks war powers measure and House follows suit – now president can bomb Iran free from congressional interference
Before US troops invaded Iraq, George W Bush asked Congress to pass a resolution authorizing military force against Washington’s longtime nemesis, a request that lawmakers obliged.
Twenty four years later, the United States is at war with a different Middle Eastern rival – Iran – under a different Republican president – Donald Trump. But this time, the president did not bother to seek permission from the Senate and House of Representatives before joining Israel in launching the air and naval campaign. And far from objecting, Congress’s Republican majorities have simply stepped aside.
The stage is now set for Trump to continue his military campaign against Iran free from Congress’s interference, despite shifting explanations by the president and his administration of its objectives, and concerns from lawyers that the war is illegal and costing unnecessary money and lives.
Every last one of those complicit traitors needs to be dealt with.

“Interference”? I think they mean even the least amount of oversight, LOL.
The now-hypothetical balance of powers is not something we should be calling “interference”.
It’s “interference” from the (fascist) executive’s point of view.
It’s oversight from Congress’ point of view, and by extension the people it represents.
Having said that, that article should have done better.
Traitors. The lot of them.
No one person should have that power. Especially not with respect to the most powerful military in the world.
Since 1979, they have been killing Americans. They have been killing their own people. They have been slaughtering people in the name of religion. It is time for that to end.
Sorry, which government were we talking about again?
That of the Bern-Mittelland administrative district in Switzerland.
All the cons, like Mikey Johnson, should be given a cuck chair.
Maybe someone like Newsom can orchestrate something where he presents all the cuckservatives a golden cuck chair to watch Donvict having his way with the Constitution.
