Tim Kaine: Trump has no congressional authorization for Syria strike
The Washington Examiner ^ | April 7, 2017 | Kyle Feldscher

Posted on 04/07/2017 7:11:00 AM PDT by kevcol

"He should not have done this without coming to Congress," Kaine said.

The strikes took place around 8:40 p.m. Eastern time Thursday night and were only confirmed following the attack. While some members of Congress were notified of the strikes, the majority found out through press reports, Kaine said.

That's unacceptable under the Constitution, the Virginia Democrat said.

Tim Kaine is an idiot and knows nothing about the reporting requirements in the War Powers Act.

The Dithering Democrats have been replaced by a DECISIVE President.

Kaine needs permission to get a better wardrobe.

Folks, the natural order has been re-stored. The dumbocrats will now be against the war. The Republicans will be carrying the baton for the next 7.5 years. Enjoy the ride.

Kaine is a moron. The President doesn’t need authorization from Congress for a single missile strike.

Praying that Laura Inghrams (sp?) knocks his A$$ out of the Senate. He doesn't need any permission. The idiot RATS need to read the still unchallenged WAR POWERS ACT. He can wage literal WAR for 3 months without asking "permission."

If Trump had notified Congress, those traitors would have leaked it and by the time the strikes happened, they would have turned the targets into nursery schools and hospitals.

This relationship was strained, however, in “Up the Down Steroid” when Timmy discovered that Jimmy was using steroids to cheat in the special olympics.

Trump notified them. Probably didn’t give them a whole lot of time to think about leaking it. And The Conservative Treehouse also reported that Trump notified Congress.

From one key Cong who was made aware of it:

- - - - -

“Congresswoman Kay Granger (TX-12), Chairwoman of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense, released the following statement:

Tonight, the White House made me aware that the United States would no longer stand idly by as President Assad slaughters his own people. I cannot more strongly applaud President Trump’s decisive actions against the Government of Syria. For years we have watched as the Syrian people endured unimaginable atrocities at the hand of their own government. The world cannot allow this type of evil to go unchecked. Tonight the United States has shown we are ready to lead the fight.”

That’s my point. He didn’t give them months or weeks or days. They had what an hour or two warning? Not quite enough time for the bad guys turn the base into hospitals and nursery schools and or remove all their assets etc.

Like a blast from the past, Saddam's "baby formula plant" or one of favorites, Billy Clinton bombs the aspirin factory.
