The War Powers Resolution of 1973 gives the President 60 days to commit military action against a country. And since we are currently at war in Syria against only ISIS fighters, Trump has full authority to authorize a military strike. #constitution
There is No congressional authorization to strike the government of Syria. #Constitution

That’s not what the war powers resolution says.

You’re going to hear and read the false, tired assertion that the War Powers Resolution (or Act) allows the president to take offensive military action without congressional approval for 60-90 days. Here’s why that’s not true:Show this thread

I don't remember the Syrian army & airforce dropping bombs & invading the US or launching missiles at the the states, they haven't done anything to us, just our self-righteousness that the US government is trying to sell, they have been framed, it's congresses decision, not Trump

I don’t remember Obama ever asking for Congressional authorization to send troops to Syria. They are there now. I guess you only care because it is Trump you hate.

My reps in NY I doubt have the guts to try to stop this insanity, even though their voters could be directly in the crosshairs of a all out war, not to mention how stupid the whole thing is being based on, no evidence and US govt passion for aggression where we don't belong

Was there Congressional authorization for Obama to give them Billions? Where did he get the approval for doing this? Americans want to know who gave him this permission.

Congress approves all spending. Most members don’t take time to read the classified portion of the budget before voting on it. It involves a 10 minute walk to a secure room.

It should be a requirement to read every piece of it. Also not everything but the kitchen sink allowed to be put into bills (like the last one). It was impossible for anyone to read that bill due to the size. That also should be stopped. One or two bills at a time to pass.
