“No president should be allowed to unilaterally march this nation into something as consequential as war with erratic threats and no strategy,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said in a statement, within hours of Operation Midnight Hammer taking place on Saturday.
“We must enforce the War Powers Act, and I’m urging Leader Thune to put it on the Senate floor immediately,” he continued. “I am voting for it and implore all Senators on both sides of the aisle to vote for it.”
His counterpart in the House, Hakeem Jeffries, posted to his website, “President Trump misled the country about his intentions, failed to seek congressional authorization for the use of military force…”
I guess Hakeem missed the fact that the more importantly “misled” party was the world's leading state sponsor of terror.
Nancy Pelosi claimed that Trump “ignored the Constitution by unilaterally engaging our military without Congressional authorization.”
NYC mayoral hopeful and avowed socialist, Zohran Mamdani, posted to X, “Today’s unconstitutional military action represents a dark, new chapter in his endless betrayals that now threaten to plunge the world deeper into chaos.”
(BTW, Mamdani is another ill-informed dolt who want to “globalize the Intifada.”)
His Democrat primary opponent and former NY governor, Andrew Cuomo, posted to his campaign website, complaining that “Trump went about this without consulting Congress, without consulting the normal congressional officials.”
But the nonsense started even before the B-2s took off from Missouri on Saturday.
