Idiots in Congress Figure Out a Constitution Exists



Idiots, Liars & Whores Oh My

  • After funding Comrade Obama's unconstitutional war in Yemen for years and years the morons in both parties now want the war to end.
  • The so-called "War Powers Act" is a fraud. If Congress had to go on record and actually vote for a real war we would have few to no wars. Instead the Act gives Congress a fig leaf of allowing the President to do whatever the Hell he wants and Congress will hold committee meetings about it later or not at all.

Congress passed a historic War Powers resolution Thursday, calling for the end of America’s involvement in Saudi Arabia’s war in Yemen. This bill represents the first time Congress has ever passed a War Powers Resolution.

The House passed S.J. Res. 7 Thursday, 247-175, featuring strong bipartisan support for the measure. Republicans and Democrats on both sides have pushed for less involvement in the war in Yemen.

S. J. Res. 7 would require that President Donald Trump remove American armed forces from hostilities in or affecting Yemen within 30 days. S.J. Resolution passed through the Senate in March, and now that the legislation passed, the bill will go to President Trump’s desk to sign.

Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA), a progressive and anti-war Democrat, told Breitbart News in an exclusive interview this week that he hopes to forge a bipartisan coalition to end a number of wars and U.S. military conflict worldwide.

To illustrate the increased congressional interest in ending America’s long-standing involvement in the Middle East, lawmakers ranging from Sens. Rand Paul (R-KY) and Mike Lee (R-UT) to Reps. Justin Amash (R-MI), Ted Lieu (D-CA), Ilhan Omar (D-MN), and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) wrote a bipartisan letter to the president backing his planned withdrawal from Syria.

The United States has aided Saudi Arabia in its war with Yemen since former President Barack Obama’s administration. Obama never sought congressional approval from Congress to involve America in the Middle East conflict, even though he had the U.S. military help the Saudis refuel their bombing runs.
