Trump Vetoes ‘Insulting’ Resolution Seeking To Prevent Military Action Against Iran

By 911.com, May 6, 2020

President Trump vetoed a war powers resolution Wednesday aimed at restricting his ability to take military action against Iran.

The President called the resolution “insulting.”

“Today, I vetoed S.J. Res. 68, which purported to direct me to terminate the use of United States Armed Forces in hostilities against Iran. This was a very insulting resolution, introduced by Democrats as part of a strategy to win an election on November 3 by dividing the Republican Party. The few Republicans who voted for it played right into their hands.

In addition, S.J. Res. 68 is based on misunderstandings of facts and law. Contrary to the resolution, the United States is not engaged in the use of force against Iran. Four months ago, I took decisive action to eliminate Qassem Soleimani while he was in Iraq. Iran responded by launching a series of missiles at our forces stationed in Iraq. No one was killed by these attacks. Further, the strike against Soleimani was fully authorized by law, including by the Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution of 2002 and Article II of the Constitution.

Finally, S.J. Res. 68 would have greatly harmed the President’s ability to protect the United States, its allies, and its partners. The resolution implies that the President’s constitutional authority to use military force is limited to defense of the United States and its forces against imminent attack. That is incorrect. We live in a hostile world of evolving threats, and the Constitution recognizes that the President must be able to anticipate our adversaries’ next moves and take swift and decisive action in response. That’s what I did!

Congress should not have passed this resolution. “

It would be very interesting to know just to what country Democrats swear their allegiance as it sure is not the USA.

They swear allegiance to a collective of families. They never did like the idea of free people or governments controlled by free people. Our birth was considered a plague that would kill the power of royalty across Great Britain and Europe.

I would have to give them my email address to read the article.

Any ongoing investigation can be used as an umbrella to conceal information. Exposure is their worst nightmare. This umbrella has been folded up. Mueller was an umbrella. All investigations by Democrats are umbrellas. Now they’ll try to investigate AG Barr, but I don’t think that’s going to fly very far.

Why would the public know any details about a real investigation?

This is not a Mueller investigation.

The Mueller investigation was like a fisherman trolling back and forth past the beach, with many lines in the water, telling everyone what he was going to catch.

A real investigation is like a scuba diver with a spear gun. You don’t see them in action, they don’t tell you what they’re going to catch, and you find out what they caught when they surface with the fish on a spear.

Schiff’S Transcripts Cleared For Release — Impeachment Was A Hoax
https://www.independentsentinel.com/schiffs-in-panic-mode-transcripts-released-no-russia-collusion/
Transcripts of House Intelligence Committee interviews have been cleared for release. They show top law enforcement and intelligence officials confirmed they had no evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia during the 2016 election, senior administration and intelligence community officials told Fox News on Wednesday.

Adam Schiff’s past statements that he had “direct evidence” of collusion were false. He prevaricated, misstated, misled, deceived, and downright lied, and then he tried to impeach the President with nothing.

You could add a lot more to that list, the CIA, FBI, 9th circuit, our ‘higher and lower institutes of learning. The depth of pig wallow that we are in, goes deeper than any of us like to think. How did you all like NIST’s explanation of Building7 – does anyone with 2 seeing eyes and a brain, still think that building ‘free fell’ because of office fires?

When Noam Chomsky was asked about 911, he dismissed any conspiracies as being ridiculous, yet when asked specifically about #7, he said, “No comment”. In other words, pass the buck – nothing to see here – ignore the obvious – just shut up you little peons.

LHO gets a job right out of the blue at the depository a month before JFK is to drive by (on a changed route) the best ‘snipers nest’ ever, only to be shot days later after the fact, by a mob connected nobody. Oh, and the police forgot to record anything he gave in whatever short interrogation they conducted with him. They then put a Commission together and placed the man who absolutely hated the President, in charge of all interrogation procedures – CIA’s Allen Dulles – it doesn’t get much better than that folks.
We all need to go look in a mirror and say, “They’ve played us all for chumps”.

All the DEMS need is four more seats in the Senate and DEMS own the Senate.

Thank you!
From your link: This is too close!

The Senate came up short of the two-thirds majority, and it voted 49-44, with seven GOP senators joining Democrats.

Seven Republicans broke with Trump:
Sens. Lamar Alexander of Tennessee,
Lisa Murkowski of Alaska,
Susan Collins of Maine,
Mike Lee of Utah,
Rand Paul of Kentucky,
Todd Young of Indiana, and
Bill Cassidy of Louisiana.
Sen. Jerry Moran (R-Kan.) joined Democrats in February to pass the bill, but he did not vote Thursday.

POS, Mike Lee is another scumbag. He can’t get enough FOREIGN VISAS as we have how many MILLIONS of white collar legal Americans out of work?

President Trump vetoed legislation passed by both houses of Congress to limit a president’s ability to wage war against Iran.

Does this give you an idea of the EVIL Trump is up against.
