Democrats Propose Bill to Prevent Trump from Launching Pre-emptive Strike on NK

Don't those dummies have anything better to do?  What a stupid bill.  I am not fan of the GOP, but I sure as heck hope these clowns don't take over the House in November. 

Democrats Propose Bill to Prevent Trump from Launching Pre-emptive Strike on North Korea
11 Jun 2018

Democrats proposed a new bill Monday — on the eve of talks between President Donald Trump and North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un — that would prevent the president from launching a pre-emptive strike on North Korea.

Sens. Chris Murphy (D-CT) and Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) introduced the bill, which would require congressional approval before any pre-emptive strike, as an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).

The legislation is similar to a bill that several Democrats co-sponsored in the Senate last year, and one proposed by Rep. Ted Lieu in the House, which would prevent the president from launching a pre-emptive strike “absent an imminent threat to the United States without express congressional authorization.”

The bill leaves open the problem of how an “imminent threat” is to be determined. It does not answer the question of what North Korea must be expected to do as Congress debates and votes on whether to authorize a pre-emptive military strike by U.S. forces against it.

Though Murphy and Duckworth declared Monday that their preference was for diplomacy over war, arguably their bill achieves the opposite by reducing pressure on North Korea to reach a deal.

It is also unlikely that the bill would pass constitutional muster. While the Constitution provides that only the House of Representatives may declare war, the bill arguably encroaches on the president’s constitutional responsibilities as commander-in-chief of the military.

The purpose of the new bill, and those Democrats have introduced before, has largely been political — that is, to suggest that President Trump is unstable or otherwise incapable of being trusted to act as commander-in-chief.

This is just more material for political ads condemning Democrats this fall.  They don't realize they're doing the heavy lifting.

Literally the dumbest and most dishonest people on the planet.

If the talks with NK don't blow up you can forget the blue wave. Trump is having his way to the point that even never Trump repubs are in danger.

DemocRAPS have nothing but Russia Russia Russia, hard to beleive anyone with even an average IQ buys into the whole thing.
