Forget About Everything Else...

[Rajvik]

Love how the news seems to glomp all over the two "Republican" pacifists on the committee, BA's quote there was from Senator Mike Lee who wonders why we are still over there in any country

As for the other quote, technically, the president is free to use the military as he pleases up until the maximum of that year's budget is consumed, at which point he has to go back to congress for more money, a ready example of this is the "Great White Fleet" sailing when Teddy Roosevelt sent the US Navy around the world with the threat that he had the money to get them their and dared congress to try and take it back.

now, i know this congress would step up and issue another article of impeachment if Trump did anything of the sort, i imagine it would be another "Abuse of power" accusation. But quite frankly, i think his attitude would be the same, "Make my day"
