"Offensive military action without congressional approval is not constitutional absent extraordinary circumstances," Kaine said.
The Virginia Democrat argued in a statement Friday that lawmakers need to know why President Joe Biden ordered the attack without first seeking their approval. "Offensive military action without congressional approval is not constitutional absent extraordinary circumstances," he added. "Congress must be fully briefed on this matter expeditiously."came in response to three rocket attacks against U.S. personnel in Iraq in the span of a week. The new U.S. strike targeted facilities in eastern Syria used by Iranian-backed militia groups that were linked to the recent attacks on U.S. forces.
Let me help: Self-defense
Screw the Republicans!! Complaining about Democrats doing exactly what their administration did for four years!!!🖕🖕
Wasn’t he paying attention?!🙄🙄🙄
We need to know all the answers, what Trump did as well as what Biden is doing and where's the stimulus checks stil..
Syrians are bombed in Syria. Syrians are welcome in Somalia. Somalis are charitable people. We know what it is to suffer.
There was good reason. Maybe Kaine doesn’t have a high enough security clearance to be read in.
chenweihua Agree with Tim Kaine.
Neocons bombing already, that didn't take long. Money printing power enables them to pay for war without people's permission (i.e., taxes). Return to hard money needed to stop funding endless war. silversqueeze Join to learn more
You’re talking about how Trump did the exact same thing in April 6 2017, or again in 2018, or maybe when Trump called a strike on an Iranian general? Stop with the constant lies and hypocrisy out of our government!
chenweihua good on him
The War Powers Resolution requires the president to notify Congress within 48 hours of committing armed forces to military action and forbids armed forces from remaining for more than 60 days, with a further 30-day withdrawal period, without congressional authorization.
Hes the same as Trump.
Not often I'd come to Kaine's point of view but enough of this 💩! Get out of the region. How stupid are we as a people?
Pound Sand
I never thought I’d say this, but go Tim Kaine
Return to regular order. Demanding answers of the executive branch. Showing GOP how it's done.
He ought to be more worried about the legal justification for what happened on Jan 6, 2021
The chief is in charge of foreign policy, Tim, or do you miss Jared calling the shots?
the legal justification is irrelevant. congress gave the president power to airstrike whatever he wants in bush era.
because we're working with our democratic allies in the region - the king of saudi arabia , the king of jordan , the emir of abu dhabi , the sheik of dubai , the emir of qatar , and the sultan of oman - to oppose the undemocratic assad regime ..
I want a god damn explanation why Iran is not allowed to have militias but maga white supremicists, are and I want it now.
sure, it's only been since the first Iraq war. now's the time to get the cats of war back into the bag, eh?
I trust President Biden, you should too Sen Kaine.
joe followed through on trumps threat
Did he demand that when Trump blew up an Iranian general and crew? In Iraq?
Its pointless in Senator Kane asking Biden why we bombed Syria. It’s unlikely that Biden even knows about it.
adamjohnsonNYC This is literally what you talked about on Citations Needed that one time lol. Make a big stink about legal rationale, but then support the strike anyways once it's nice and 'legal'
“Whoa! C’mon man! Deal with it. We haven’t had a good bombing of someone else’s country for a while.”
Did Tim Kaine switch parties?
Capital gets attacked Senator Kaine and others “we must fortify and protect and punish those involved”. American citizens and troops get bombed, Senator Kaine “why did you do something in response”. 🤔
Biden is commander in chief
Timmy...
Biden is a war monger, he agreed to invade Iraq.
Did he also say it in Spanish?
Kaines a Republican right?
