Paul Ryan wants to deprivelage congressional war powers in yemen Call your reps today

[Just AnotherPerson]

In January congress was going to be able to end the war in Yemen. They are working to pass H.C.R 138 https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-concurrent-resolution/138 It is aimed at removing hostilities from Yemen because it has not been congressionally approved.

Congress is the only one with war powers. The president only has war powers when we are under attack, otherwise it is unconstitutional.

At the last minute yesterday Paul Ryan introduced a vote on a house rule to de privilege congressional war powers. It is going to vote today before 4pm. If you are interested in stopping this unconstitutional move call your reps immediately. You can directly call your reps or email them, call both your Senators and Representatives. Or you can call 1-833-STOP-WAR, or 202-224-3121. You can also go online to https://stopthewar.us/ to have an email sent.

Call your reps off the hook today, Tell them you are in favor of and to support H.C.R 138 and to vote No on de-privileging H.Con.Res. 138

H.Con.Res. 138 is to use the War Powers Act to stop all U.S support to Saudi Arabia in Yemen. Republicans are trying to stop H.Con.Res. 138 with procedural H.Res.1142. Call your reps to vote NO on H.Res. 1142

House GOP moves to block resolution that would end US military involvement in Yemen civil war
https://thehill.com/policy/defense/416599-house-gop-moves-to-block-resolution-that-would-end-us-military-involvement-in


House Republicans are moving to block a vote on a resolution that would end all U.S. military support to the Saudi Arabia-led coalition in Yemen’s civil war.

Rep. Ro Khanna (https://thehill.com/people/rohit-ro-khanna) (D-Calif.), backed by top Democrats, introduced the War Powers resolution in September. Because the resolution invoked the War Powers Act, it was privileged, meaning Democrats could theoretically have forced a vote on it.

But on Tuesday night, the House Rules Committee adopted, in a 6-2 vote on party lines, a rule for floor debate for an unrelated bill that includes a provision stripping Khanna’s resolution of its privileged status.

The full House is expected to consider the rule, for the “Manage our Wolves Act,” later Wednesday.

Khanna on Tuesday lashed out at the Republican's move on Twitter.“

The Republicans tomorrow are trying to bury my Yemen War Powers Resolution in a rule that would prevent an up or down vote,” Khanna tweeted Tuesday night. “This is unprecedented and would undermine the very purpose of the War Powers Act. Anyone who cares about Article I of the Constitution should be outraged.”

Just another example of so-called "conservative Republicans" spitting on the legacy of America's founders, the US constitution, and basic human decency.

It's time to face facts: The constitution has been dead for a long time. It offers us no real protections. It is up to the people and their State governments to uphold American values and traditions. The US government is nothing more than an instrument of tyranny.

You both lose on this. i only post so you don't get lonely. Yemen can go to Hell and no one will notice it but you two.

Let the Saudi and Iranian factions in Yemen bleed each other. We don't need to get in the way.

We are dealing with a true dictator. Our President publicly condemns the Saudis, and says he wants peace. Then he does a move like this bill to block congress from their authority.

Breaking news......The house has blocked the resolution to end the war in Yemen. This is a loss for hundreds of thousands in Yemen who are being slaughtered at our hands. This is a shame on all of us. We should all rise up and tell our leaders that blood for money is unnaceptable. We should do everything in our power to not allow our nation to be participating us in a coporate genocide of children. What a crime!

House blocks resolution to end US military support in Yemen war
https://thehill.com/policy/defense/416768-house-blocks-resolution-to-end-us-military-support-in-yemen-civil-war


House Republicans have officially blocked a vote on a resolution that would end all U.S. military support to the Saudi Arabia-led-coalition in Yemen’s ongoing war.

On Wednesday afternoon, the House approved 201-187, largely on party lines, a rule for floor debate on an unrelated bill that would take the gray wolf off the endanger species list. Included in the rule was a provision (https://thehill.com/policy/defense/416599-house-gop-moves-to-block-resolution-that-would-end-us-military-involvement-in) that strips the Yemen resolution of its so-called privilege status.

Privilege means the sponsors of the resolution could theoretically have forced a vote on it. Rep. Ro Khanna (https://thehill.com/people/rohit-ro-khanna) (D-Calif.), backed by top Democrats, introduced the resolution in September and invoked the War Powers Act to give it privilege status.

“Let’s be very clear: This is unprecedented in American history,” Khanna said on the House floor Wednesday. “What the majority is saying is that if the president of the United States and the Speaker believe we should be in war, we should be at war.”

In news closer to home and, of more importance.... several people were shot and killed, when a gunman walked into a bar, in Globe Arizona and opened fire.

Globe is s small copper mining town in SE Arizona, it's approximately an hour from me.

Funny, I don't think the media, outside of local stations, covered it.

Now, there's a story *I" care about, something that's happening in my own country, in my own back yard.

The story from the OP is happening in America. The US Congress continues to abdicate its constitutional power over war. I can think of few things more important than the US government violating the law that is supposed to bind our society together.

It's still about Yemen, the only thing JAP seems to care about.

I don't think she realizes, the more threads she starts about Yemen, the less interest she generates.

Imagine the generations of our regime leaders the Saudis have dirt on? But while we're at it why not strike all war powers unless we are under attack?

[Peter1469]

Imagine the generations of our regime leaders the Saudis have dirt on? But while we're at it why not strike all war powers unless we are under attack?
Because sometimes we have legitimate need for the rapid use of military force to prevent dangerous escalation. A clear example is the student rescue mission at Grenada. Reagan went in, kicked some ass, got the medical students, and left Grenada to clean up the mess- no occupation and we were home before any requirement to inform Congress was triggered.

On a side note, the Grenada operation taught the military many valuable lessons. We lost a SEAL team on the beach due to piss poor prior planning.

https://www.quora.com/Is-the-War-Powers-Act-constitutional

The short answer is Yes. The War Powers Act is Constitutional in that it does not grant or remove any authority already vested in the Executive (President) but it does define under what circumstance the President may use the military forces of the United States and for how long

Breaking News: US Senate Blocks Resolution on Bahrain Arms Sales

https://www.adhrb.org/2018/11/breaking-news-us-senate-blocks-vote-on-bahrain-arms-sales/

15 November 2018 – Today, the United States Senate voted 77 to 21 (https://twitter.com/just_security/status/1063136931561832448) to discharge S. J. Res. 65, a }&r=1"]joint resolution (https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/senate-joint-resolution/65/text?q={"search"%3A["SJRes+65) introduced by Senator Rand Paul (R-KY), therefore blocking Senators from voting to prohibit US arms sales to Bahrain. This move by Senate leadership paves the way for further arms sales to Bahrain despite the kingdom’s atrocious human rights record, suppression of political and civil society organizations, attacks on peaceful protests, religious discrimination, and widespread and systematic torture and arbitrary detention.

The passage of Senator Paul’s resolution would have been a formal notice to the Trump administration and Bahraini government that Congress disapproves of arms sales to Bahrain. It would also have put the Bahraini government on notice that its participation in the war in Yemen is of serious concern, and signaled that there will be consequences for Bahrain if the government continues to violate human rights.

But we do live in a Constitutional Republic because the exact same has been declared right inside of this same forum, as he continues the stalking. Can you even imagine what the rights of Con.grass will be when the United States Senate gets a hold of their version? How the wolf of the tribe of Benjamin has been used categorically to deny its very own.

The Bureau of Bad Management has kidnapped so many horses, with more interludes by the same facilitators who have received billions in grant subsidies that can't help a poor student forum a union. How bad is land managed where the cattle are sold to China as they want to deprive the wolf of its very own territory, as wild horses live inside kill pens.
