"Based on the information I have from the classified briefing I attended, I do think so," Amash told CNN's Erin Burnett on"OutFront" when asked if the strike was an abuse of power. "Every military action that is non-defensive has to have congressional authorization under our Constitution. So, we have a 2001 authorization, for example, to go after the 9/11 perpetrators. We have a 2002 authorization to go after Saddam Hussein's regime.
Read MoreEarlier Thursday, Amash -- along with three Republicans -- voted with the Democratic majority to approve a resolution aimed at restraining the President's ability to use military action against Iran without congressional approval. Democrats say the resolution is legally binding, but Republicans say has no teeth without Trump's signature.
Agree so innocent life on plane was lost
CNN believes we care what Amash says.
Why is no one asking - If Trump was ever advised to Capture and Detain as an option for removing Suliemani rather than assassination? Think about Kosovo and how Serbian leaders Milosvic, Radic, Mladic and others were captured, detained and faced Justice in the World Court?
Independent? You mean Democrat.
Oh wow 💤💤💤💤
PayDownTheDebt justinamash Thank you for the courage to continue to say the truth despite the sea of despots. We are listening. You can really make a difference. TruthMatters
hogwash
In Iraq. Key part dipshits.
caldev3 The occupant of the Oval Office claims the Ukrainian plane was flying in a rough neighborhood. That in Ohio a couple of hundred years ago there was no one there. He was bullying and ignorant. Wake up GOP. He’s mentally and physically ill. He needs to be removed
Durrrrrrr! Not really up for debate.
The external threat to this country = countries like Iran. The internal threat to this country = the demoralizing, destabilizing, destructive, degenerate leftist dem libs, the biggest threat to our social, moral, and spiritual fabric of society, a disease and cancer from within
I would not be surprised if the International War Crimes, The Hague charges him with Assassinating a member of a Sovereign State Government. I saw tweet today that Pompeo was refusing visas to an International commission having to do with that
Too bad the sick, warped, twisted, distorted, leftist dem libs don't think there is an abuse of power from them and the media with their constant fabricated, unfounded attacks against the president when he is trying to do what is right for the country
He hates Trump anyway
Is it ever enough?
How come no one said anything about Obama’s 550+ drone strikes during his administration? How come Democrats can do anything and it’s totally ok? Drones with dems 👍 but drones with republicans 👎. Hypocrisy at its finest! 🤦♂️
He absolutely did.
That's ok. justinamash thought Obama abused his power too. Congress doesn't like being out of the loop.
What rocks do these people crawl out from?
Maybe d is just garbage 🤷♂️?
Another idiot. Just what's needed in a tight situation is leadership by committee.
Libtards didn't squawk when BHO ordered the hit on Osama bin laden but now commit treason by giving aid and comfort to Iranian terrorists.
You people are nuts. Why didn’t you say the same when Obama lead the strike on Osama.
LOL Of course he does....LOL
Trump should rack up impeachments. That’s how you know you are winning the war against the swamp!
No he didn’t. Americans for Trump....again in 2020🇺🇸🇺🇸
CNN FAKE NEWS
Amash evidently has mush for brains. Guess Obama droning the hell outta everyone...even an American was just fine. Smdh
Of course he does.
justinamash should tell that to our great wounded warrior heros who lost their arms and legs because of Solaimani’s Armour piercing IEDs. I bet they think different and support realDonaldTrump’s call. Leadership KAG2020
We have many american traitors, Donald Trump, Mike Pompeo, Mike Pence, Mitch McConnell, Nikki Haley, Doug Collin, Lindsey Graham! Republicans, they want WAR. We have over 50,000 American troops in jeopardy because of these Republicans. Our loved ones are in harms way.🇺🇸
Same people who had no problems with Obama's thousands of drone strikes.
& we care what he thinks.... why exactly ?
All puckered up
Hey check it out, this sucks!
I agree.
Abused his power my ass. Abusing power is what crooked democrats and clowns like amash does.
I use to like Justin. Seems he's been compromised.
Well General Petraus has a different opinion and since the General could actually locate the middle east on a map, I’d say that makes Anash’s opinion irrelevant.
Lots of arm twisting by Pompeo - who has had his own “private war” going on with Soleimani for years.
MAGA MAGA MAGA MAGA MAGA MAGA MAGA AMERICA FIRST
Maybe Justin should send Oasem a get well card . 👍👍
That's a dumb take.
justinamash I totally agree with you!
Of course he does
No one cares when this was happening and no one said this in the news when Obama did the same thing. So we do not care what Justin says. Really it’s just gross what CNN reports on and let’s These articles post.
Imagine thinking that killing a guy who even the EU considered a terrorist, and who ran a division that even Canada considered a terrorist organization, was wrong.
Omg - y’all are trying to resuscitate another abuse of power thing for impeachment. If Obama wasn’t impeached for Osama, then...next.
Yes he did. It caused death to Canadians
I don’t think so
Amash is desperately grasping at anything since his defection from the GOP hasnt had the desired tesults
