Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) on Sunday said President Trump did not have the authority to launch missile strikes on the Syrian regime and called on the president to seek approval from Congress before any other actions.
I think he has got to come to the United States Congress. I think he has got to explain to us what his long-term goals are, Sanders told NBCs Meet the Press.
Trump last week ordered the U.S. military to conduct missile strikes on a Syrian airfield believed to be the launching point of a chemical weapons attack that killed at least 70 civilians. The United States has placed blame for the attack on Syrian President Bashar Assad.
Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have since called on Trump to seek congressional approval before future military action. Our goal long-term has got to work with countries around the world. We cannot do it unilaterally, Sanders said on Sunday.

Sanders who?
Trump to Sanders: How did a socialist afford 3 homes?
The porno writer.
LOL Call them all back from vacation on Sanders say so. That’ll go over well.
ABSOLUTELY. I forgot to include this in my link, but by striking without Congress, & having Dems & Rand Paul saying “You have to come to us,” Trump is now completely insulated.
He can claim to want to do other things (that would please neo-cons & traditionalists) but have picture of Dems blocking-—adding to their crappy rep already.
This is win, win, win.
Oh, the hypocrisy!
The only thing Sanders has a right to do wrt The Donald is to hire him to run his Lake Vacation Compound.
Sanders and “The Hill” — hahahahaha
Bernie might want to take a look at the War Powers Resolution of 1973.

On Sunday Bernie Sanders proved to America why electing him would have been a colossal mistake- America just went through 8 years of sissy pacifism- and apparently Bernie believes we should have continued doing so
Sorry Bernie- but if you aren’t smart enough to figure out the president DID have the authority to do so- then you certainly aren’t smart enough to be president- Ever
Yes, and have a new IRS administration give Sanders and his wife colonoscopies to determine how they pay a 13% tax rate abd how his wife bankrupted a college. They should also put Bernie under the bright lights and question him about the unconstitutionality of his socialist/communist ideas for the USA and then charge him with treason.
Now Bernie, why would President Trump listen to a man who let a bunch of women at the DNC undermine his campaign?
Yea three homes, one on a lake.
Isn’t a small subsidized cubicle apartment enough for a socialist man over 70?
Trump should invite him over to the WH instead and tell him to bring pics of his new lake house. ;-)
Wasn’t this resolution passed in 2014 by congress, authorizing the President to take such actions against Syria? I don’t recall an expiration date, or a specific president tied to this permission.
Congress hasn’t approved a war since WW2 I hear.
And should he not show solidarity with the people of Venezuela by showing how the government is doing its job by standing in the food lines and doing without toilet paper himself?
Yeah, but we’ve got resolutions, which are really the same as Constitutional Amendments.
