Here’s a quote from George Washington, our first president, clearly stating his view that he could not conduct any “offensive expedition of importance” without congressional approval:https://twitter.com/justinamash/status/983368527779450882?s=21 …

Completely agree that we have had and continue to have executive overreach and extending their authority beyond its limits. The one caveat I wonder is how do we reconcile this w/ possibly losing element of surprise. If it possibly going to cost more US soldiers lives do we

Still say have to wait for official declaration of war? Bc not necessarily regarding this scenario but in a different situation you are essentially telling the enemy you are coming. This is something I’ve not seen the founding fathers ever address. Be interested in your thoughts.

POTUS told them we were coming in a tweet.... no element of surprise at all. Further, we are not meant to be the aggressors. The element of surprise is meant for countries attacking other countries unaware and unprovoked. We don’t do that or shouldn’t be doing that at all.

Any conflict we enter into should be due to our being brought into it by outside forces. Either by being attacked or in defending an ally. In both cases there is no element of surprise as the enemy has already begun the conflict. However, we need to discuss our involvement first.

Fair points. Granted I wasn’t really referring to this situation. Also I’d say your idea of when we should get involved is very narrow. But if they say attack an Ally an element of surprise could very well be needed in that situation. I personally wish we would start to adhere

No one has declared war on the U.S. The U. S. Has not declared war on anyone. Go do Congress's duty to declared war and get back to us. No where in the Constitution does it require the Commander in Chief to wait for you clowns in Congress before acting.

Sooo, articles of impeachment are on the table for this?

No. Article II of the constitution gives him the right to do this.

Assad attacked the US? When?

Several Presidents b4 President Trump have intervened when atrocities were committed. Guess you forgot about that. Do you think we should have impeached them all?
