Amateur Hour Continues

[0nelilreb]

Remind me of the last president who didn't think any rules applied to him?

How do you get no rules apply to him out of that tweet ?

Your President Trump is giving you a rally speech in Toledo, OH.......right this minute. Better tune in & check it out. He may say something that's good that benefits the good ole US of A.

As in, "I do hereby resign the office of President of the United States of America."

 

[Velo Vol]

I've always wondered what it was like at a Mensa convention.

Let me help you with your misunderstanding of how Trump isn’t doing anything new with the whole “ I need congress’s approval thing “

Obama, Libya and the authorization conflict

Obama, Libya and the authorization conflict

The Korean War was the first modern example of the U.S. being taken to war without a formal declaration,[8] and this has been repeated in every armed conflict since. Beginning with the Vietnam War, however, Congress has given other various forms of authorization to do so. Some debate continues as to the appropriateness of these, as well as the tendency of the Executive Branch to engage in the origination of such a push, its marketing, and even propagandizing or related activities to generate such support.
Pierce Butler of South Carolina was the only delegate to the Philadelphia Convention who suggested giving the Executive the power to take offensive military action.[9] He suggested the President should be able to, but in practice would have the character not to do so without mass support. Elbridge Gerry, a delegate from Massachusetts, summed up the majority viewpoint saying he "never expected to hear in a republic a motion to empower the Executive alone to declare war". George Mason, Thomas Jefferson, and others voiced similar sentiments.[10]

Obama, Libya and the authorization conflict

In his two major statements on Libya in the past few days, one Friday at the White House and the other in Brazil on Saturday, the president made only one passing reference to Congress, saying “I've acted after consulting with my national security team, and Republican and Democratic leaders of Congress.”

We're not even getting this now.

There’s that phrase I keep hearing over and over . This isn’t about “ declaring war “ . This point has been made by Regan , Bush , Obama and now Trump . The president doesn’t need congress to approve a strike he thinks is necessary. “ Commander and Chief “

Did he say he didn’t need congress to give him approval ?

I do. It's kind of like playing the lottery; you know you're not going to win, but just having the chance is worth a dollar. I have that tiniest sliver of hope that every day may be Trump's last day in office. But unlike the lottery, one day I will hit the jackpot.

He just has to justify it after the fact.

Because that's clearly the President in that picture

 

[0nelilreb]

Justifying it will always be subjective . The opposition party will always use it to their advantage when it’s pertinent.

Lol “ one day “ you will for sure .

It serves as the intended check and balance.

And he can respond with... this guy liked to do real bad things and now he doesn't like it so much.

 

[luthervol]

Lol “ one day “ you will for sure .

And it will be a glorious day indeed.

 

[vols40]

We are the United States of America and never have to justify killing a terrorist.
Well except with the Mainstream media/Democrat party/Iran regime apologists

 

[0nelilreb]

It serves as the intended check and balance.

I agree that it does . I can just as easily say he justified the strike as you can say he didn’t . See it’s all subjective .

 

[0nelilreb]

And it will be a glorious day indeed.

I’m sure it will , all you have to do is stay alive until that day . Otherwise he will be your president for eternity .

Article I, Section 8, Clause 11 of the U.S. Constitution, sometimes referred to as the War Powers Clause, vests in the Congress the power to declare war, in the following wording:

[The Congress shall have Power ...] To declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water ...

I cannot find any wording of the Executive branch and assassinations in the Constitution anywhere.

I wish I was meme savy because I would pay the mushroom cloud right here

This is why nobody takes you seriously . We aren’t AT WAR and aren’t seeking to be AT WAR .
