Iraq 2.0 Is Here

Yes.

Nonsense, the President needs the ability to act swiftly when necessary.

Soley in defense. Never in offensive operations. Convince me the American forces were under threat of imminent attack. Convince me the United States was under threat of an imminent attack.

If you cannot then the President committed war crimes against the Syrians and impeachable crimes against the Americans.

No I don't.

If the President has the authority to offensively strike a country with no approval from Congress, then what we live in is a dictatorship.

[Peter1469]

That is the War Powers Act.

Congress actively gave up its authority to declare war.

That is the War Powers Act.
Congress actively gave up its authority to declare war.

The Congress cannot delegate its Constitutional obligations.

[Peter1469]

The Congress cannot delegate its Constitutional obligations.

They did.

[The Xl]

You understand that this Constitutional republic we live in is a fraud, right? It's a complete fairy tale at this point.

The President doesn't need a declaration of war for this kind of action.

The 2016 version of Donald Trump doesn't agree with you.

So we should do nothing about chemical weapons attacks?

Yes, "we" should do nothing about it. It's none of our business. And that's what Trump said himself repeatedly during his presidential campaign.

But your statement assumes there is actual proof that Assad's forces were responsible for such attacks. So far, I've seen about as much proof that Assad's forces used chemical weapons as I have that Trump colluded with Russia, i.e., none.
