Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) on Wednesday announced the House of Representatives' plans to vote on a War Powers Resolution which would prevent President Donald Trump from taking further action against Iran. The vote is scheduled for Thursday.
According to Pelosi, President Trump "endangered our servicemembers, diplomats and others by risking a serious escalation of tensions with Iran" when he ordered the airstrike that killed Iranian Qud Force General Qasem Soleimani.
The Speaker said it's obvious Trump "does not have a coherent strategy to keep the American people safe, achieve de-escalation with Iran and ensure stability in the region" and said Congress has "serious, urgent concerns about the Administration’s decision to engage in hostilities against Iran and about its lack of strategy moving forward."
House Democrats decided to move forward with the plan after President Trump's briefing on Wednesday, saying the president failed to prove there was an imminent threat from Soleimani.
The resolution that's being considered would require Trump to receive congressional approval before making any future military moves relating to Ukraine. But that's not all they're considering.
“The House may also soon consider additional legislation on the Floor to keep America safe. This legislation includes Congresswoman Barbara Lee’s resolution to repeal the 2002 Iraq Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) and Congressman Ro Khanna’s legislation to prohibit funding for military action against Iran not authorized by Congress," Pelosi said.
It's unclear how many Republicans, if any, will support the resolution. Sens. Mike Lee (R-UT) and Rand Paul (R-KY) said they would support a similar bill in the Senate, POLITICO reported.
Even though the Democrats believe this would have a significant impact, it really won't. This bill is a concurrent resolution. Under law, a concurrent resolution is not sent to the president to sign, meaning it "does not have the force of law."
Pelosi deaerves to be tried, convicted and then hung for high treason and sedition. The ignorant evil hag.
Because it is not a law? It is a fooken resolution. Like “Pistachio Ice Cream Day...”
“Under law, a concurrent resolution is not sent to the president to sign, meaning it “does not have the force of law.”
They can ATTEMPT to undermine the Constitution, as obozo did for his entire regime.
But any attempt to undermine the President’s complete power as CIC is DOA.
This is just horseshit, relax let the idiots rave. My grandma said “ rave on cat shit, some one will come along and cover you up”.

Another dog with no bite like Nauncey’s FArticles of Impeachment!
Posturing for stupid. Lee and Paul can get naked and make a porn film. Still won’t get any traction. They couldn’t swing Trumps base if they could get Mittsy to drop his drawers and join in. They are so last week, I can barely hear their suck.
And they know it.
Speaking of not having a coherent strategy...they always project.
never underestimate the fruits, nuts, and flakes in california...
anything could be packaged...
It’s obvious to me that POTUS cannot blab his coherant plan for Iran to all the leaky sieve democRATS; which would be akin to publishing it in a newspaper in Iran.
“This legislation includes Congresswoman Barbara Lee’s resolution to repeal the 2002 Iraq Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) and Congressman Ro Khanna’s legislation to prohibit funding for military action against Iran not authorized by Congress,” Pelosi said.”
I almost wish Congress would do it.
How can the old crone serve as speaker of the house and not know the laws
Yeah, there are a lot of us CA FReepers who are well aware of the dem Moonbats in rat nests of Sacramento, LA, and San Francisco. They give the rest of the state a bad name.
