    Bipartisan Senators Want to Strip Joe Biden of Major Powers

    A bipartisan group of senators introduced a bill to curtail the powers of President Joe Biden, and presumably future presidents, to use the military indiscriminately without first consulting with Congress.


    The bill was introduced a week after Biden authorized airstrikes in Syria on Feb. 25 without consulting with lawmakers. The move also drew condemnation from many Republicans over the double standard with regard to Democratic outrage when former President Donald Trump sparingly used American airpower.


    A number of Senate Democrats now find themselves in favor of limiting expanded executive powers currently enjoyed by the president, which were awarded to the White House in both 1991 and in 2002 — prior to both wars against Saddam Hussein’s Iraq, The Hill reported.


    To be fair, many Democrats have been beating that drum for years, so there is some semblance of consistency here. But nearly two decades into fighting in the Middle East, with rumors of a broader conflict in Syria on the horizon, lawmakers want to bring back a system of checks and balances before the country takes action overseas. The issue is refreshingly bipartisan.


    Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia and Republican Sen. Todd Young of Indiana are both leading a bill which, if passed, would ensure some military actions are cleared with Congress beforehand.

    Yes led by Tim Kaine. A Democrat.


    Senators from across the ideological spectrum signed onto the Kaine-Young bill as co-sponsors on Wednesday, including Sens. Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.), Mike Lee (R-Utah), Chris Coons (D-Del.) and Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa)......snip~

    Why would you tie the hands of a President to react to an attack?
    Liberals are a clear and present danger to our nation
    Pick your enemies carefully.

    You wouldn't think the presidential candidate who ostensibly received the most votes in history would get neutered like this.

    Joe Biden ought to ask Tim Kaine how many presidential elections he's been on the winning ticket on and if he would have supported the same bill if he had become the VP.

    The kook senators have no say in presidential powers.

    What the Congress can do is begin terminating all of the so-called independent agencies, some four hundred plus, that make our laws. That will greatly reduce Presidential powers without impacting the Constitution.

    The Constitution is clear.
    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.


    I pledge allegiance to the Constitution as written and understood by this nation's founders, and to the Republic it created, an indivisible union of sovereign States, with liberty and justice for all.

    Just goes to show ya the Democrats dont trust Joes judgement on things. Kaine has been leading this ever since Joey bombed some empty buildings in Syria.

    Because their fear of him acting irrational is true rather than just the rhetoric they used against Trump

    There is no button. Nor are there options to "nuke" Iowa.
