I want #EVERYONE to see this! It's now at 3 weeks going on 4. And now he wants to play by the rules. The #U.S.Constitution #(Article1Section8) explicitly grants #Congress the sole power to #declarewar. No one knew what he was doing!

I want you three to sponsors a bill to void the 1973 War Powers Act.
It is the basis for POTUS, from Nixon on, to avoid a vote to #DeclareWar as the Constitution wisely requires.

It is not.
Think.
He could start bombing another country tomorrow.
He has #abrogated power the Constitution does not grant him.
Only Congress can #DeclareWar
POTUS is #CommanderInChief only AFTER they do.
#Art1Sec8Clause11
Congress MUST assert their authority!
"I don't know what's happening"
Says a U.S. Senator, member of Congress; which, according to the U.S. Constitution, gives 100% of the power & authority to #DeclareWar to that body.
Not to the lawless rogue in the Oval Office.

He can't #DeclareWar without Congress.
For god's sake, Senator, call it what it was.
An #UNLAWFUL use of the US Military by the president.
Trump was NOT authorized by Congress to attack a foreign nation, THAT requires a Congressional vote to #DeclareWar per #Art1Sec8Clause11
He's a CRIMINAL POTUS.
Call for his #impeachment.
… #NationalEmergency at the #Border”
gee… I wonder what a #FederalDomesticMilitary means for #StatesRights after they #DeclareWar on #Venezuela for #OperationSpearhead?
Welp. Here we go:
Constitutional Crisis, since only Congress can #DeclareWar & he just acted like the other two branches don’t even EXIST.
🤔 If those COWARDS in his mediocre, merit-free Administration & Republican Congress don’t FIRE Trump…
It may well lead to schisms, secessions & Civil War. 🤬
It's #time 2 #declarewar on this #madking & take our #civilrightsback. We'll lose things be #uncomfortable & go without - are you #ready? It's here
