, D-Va., said on the Senate floor Wednesday."While the president does and must always have the ability to defend the United States from imminent attack, the executive power to initiate war stops there. An offensive war requires a Congressional debate and vote. This should not be a controversial proposition."
Sen. Tim Kaine meets with reporters just after the Senate advanced a resolution asserting that President Donald Trump must seek approval from Congress before engaging in further military action against Iran, at the Capitol in Washington, Feb. 12, 2020.The resolution underscores that Congress has the sole power to declare war, as laid out in the Constitution.
"The Constitution, in Article I, provides Congress the power to declare war -- a responsibility I take seriously. The prospect of military action against Iran has consequences that ought to be considered by the full Congress on behalf of the people it represents.
"It is very important for our Country’s SECURITY that the United States Senate not vote for the Iran War Powers Resolution. We are doing very well with Iran and this is not the time to show weakness. Americans overwhelmingly support our attack on terrorist Soleimani....,” Trump tweeted. "Clearly, this resolution is not ready for prime time," McConnell said on the Senate floor Wednesday."I believe it is just an effort to broadcast a political message. But even that message can be harmful to our troops and to national security."
This Senate needs to take away all of TRump’s powers. Do the right thing for our country.
Will GOP SENATORS agree on this?
Unconstitutional.
I doubt it.
Just like they passed a law to make it illegal for the president to hold foreign aid? This president doesn’t follow law! Get it? Pass all the damn laws you want. senatemajldr & cohorts you are IMPOTENT against the IMPOTUS by your OWN making. Good luck on this one.

This is going to embolden Iran. Nice job guys.
Looks like some senate members need to be voted out.
It would be nice to have someone reign in this crazy person. But he won't like it so I'm sure he will veto it. No one is going to get in his way.
It will be vetoed before cnn has 400 analysts break it down.
I'm getting dizzy how this story is spinning 😵.

Republican Senate Budget Committee chair won't hold hearing on Trump budgetThe Senate Budget Committee Chair said today that he will not hold a hearing on Donald Trump’s $4.8 trillion budget, warning that it will turn into a “diatribe against the president” A bit more fascism creeps closer. No, it would be rightly recognized as another example of his lies, broken promises and the way in which he continues to con his loyal tribalists. Ummmmmmmmmm
