      Curbing a madman’s ability to drag an entire nation into a conflict with no perceptible end point is just a bridge too far for most US lawmakers

        Why?

        There are enough Democrats to bring it to a vote.

        You’re not telling me… democrats support the genocide too? 😱

    I get the feeling this will get shot down because it would hinder weapons sales to Israel or threaten AIPAC money. Politicians who vote against it will probably say they like the idea, but don’t like the wording.

    I hope it gets through tho.

    POTUS has too much power already. Declaring Emergency to bypass the senate in order to conduct war should be fixed.

    Not saying this juts cause Trump is a moron, its time to restore some power to the legislature.

    Symbolic only. Even if the Senate voted for it, it would never get past the House.

    Bernie, you have to understand that Israel wants us at war with Iran. And our politicians are puppets for Israel. You can’t overpower Israel. The most powerful nation in history can’t stand up to a tiny nation that requires subsidies to exist.

    Most elected Democrats are against this. But hey, I’m sure Lesser Of Two Evils™ thinking is going to stop making things worse eventually.
