Speaker Nancy Pelosi said the House will vote to reassert Congress’s authority to declare war.

This Jan. 8, 2020, satellite image released by Planet Labs Inc., reportedly shows damage to the Ain al-Asad US airbase in western Iraq, after being hit by rockets from Iran.The measure is expected to be privileged, forcing the GOP-led Senate to take up the bill as well, although the resolution is subject to the president's veto power and highly unlikely to have more of an effect than to serve as a policy statement for Democrats.

Rep. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich., who once worked as a Middle East analyst for the CIA, is the primary author of the resolution, formally known as H. Con. Res. 83. While the administration has relied on a number of authorities to justify last week's missile strike to kill Soleimani, including Article II of the U.S. Constitution and the AUMF, Wisconsin Rep. Mark Pocan, the co-chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, told reporters that officials failed to demonstrate that Soleimani presented an imminent threat.

marykbruce Absolutely were misled. Or at least for some of us attempted to be misled

marykbruce So he just happened to be vacationing in Baghdad 2 days after the embassy was attacked...

She babbles about jack dammit

marykbruce

marykbruce Because he didn't he was to high off that nose candy to make the right decision. Killing him like they aren't going to replace him with someone with the same mind frame. And while focusing on a made up crisis he letting other terrorists groups rebuild. We got a crack head Potus

marykbruce Your bad for America 🇺🇸 Nancy.

She is a joke.

marykbruce & marykbruce she did not answer the question. She was no where to be found when the Obama admin opened up a new terror front in Libya & Syria, one that even cost us the life of our Ambassador. If such had occurred under Trump CNN nytimes washingtonpost & Dems will go mad

marykbruce

Remember when it was a good thing to kill a terrorist

What country are these jerks from? Iran Russia China?

marykbruce He's still dead.

marykbruce Oh Look a repeater activist from a media entity that protects democrats by covering up child rape due to the ties between the rapist and democrats is asking an opinion based BS question to a known Democrat hypocrite and liar. The media is the enemy of the people.

Did this baboon just bring up Clinton? Clinton isnt president anymore and you will be held for your actions alone. SpeakerPelosi nancyhassmokerslungs

Why didn't you pass such a resolution against Obama?

Lock her up!!

HonAdenDuale And the people who are caught in America and Iran fight is not Americans but innocent people praying for peace

This has no teeth and just for show more vodka Nancy

And then back to the Pub...

Soo, we need 535 people to run the executive branch? TDS! KAG!

Or withdraw the army or arrested for the militias

Her & the rest of the DEMORATS are dividing this country 🤬🤬🤬

Gorilla tape wouldn't be strong enough for that old Gorilla's mouth!

SpeakerPelosi is nuts. She is not competent.

I don’t understand how someone who could rise to the level of speaker of the house could Equate taking out one terrorist as an act of war. What a damn idiot.

This lady is pathetic...not qualified to work at McDonald’s

Did Pelosi skip the VP’s phone call last night because she was drunk, or because she was with donors?

SpeakerPelosi all that matters to this old witch is petty politics

Which means they NEVER will!

Pelosi is a joke! This isn't a right winger saying this, either. Most Democrats voted to give Trump MORE money for the military just a few months ago. She could have put up bills to keep trump's military power in check which would have stopped this attack but she never did.

Sure thing kiddo. Put it up on the fridge so you can see it every time you refill your tumbler full of gin.

Political stunt, war wasnt declared. Focus on the things that affect the American people moving forward. Not goading a man who has term limits, which you should be limited to as well. Career politicians lead to stagnation of progress and pettiness amongst lawmakers

That's Okay. She will see a dip in her vote count. I BET ON IT.

The should vote to limit SpeakerPelosi mouth!!!

Tell her we’ll call her back.

why does this woman continue to keep up this scam , and to defend a terrorist is going too far , she needs to resign

Good! Keep marmalades hands off the trigger.

It's literally written in the Constitution. If you don't support Congress' authority you don't support the founding document of the United States.

Good, all it took was someone you were scared of. Get it done and don't fuck it by giving it back to YOUR next guy.

The way they continuously find new ways to do absolutely nothing is incredible.

Yawn

Pelosi has no Authority, except over when she takes her pills

The only thing she can assert authority over is a bottle of vodka/.

This will be a campaign ad when we get attacked and Trump can't do anything without checking with Nancy and the squad first.

It’s obvious the MSM and Democrats want to nullify any Presidential Power realDonaldTrump has. It started with the RussiaHoax and it continues today. Keep it up Dems. You’ll be looking for a new job very soon

Only illegal wars from THESE guys will be permitted. Iranattack

Good Luck. Bahahahhahahah

Lol literally anything Trump does, she’s gonna say he’s wrong. delusional

Pelosi...let the President do his job...you do yours! Get in the kitchen, and make me a sandwich!!!
