This is the quality of DEMOCRAT congressman that votes on these things.

When America wins, Democrats lose.

NON-BINDING
"Soft law instruments and norms are thus understood as non-binding in international law but binding in some other manner, for instance, politically."

Resolutions aren’t worth the paper they are written on.

Democrat resolutions aren’t worth the paper or the ink to create them.

According to CNN

Republicans Reps. Matt Gaetz and Francis Rooney of Florida as well as Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky all crossed party lines to vote in favor of the resolution.

but is meant to reassert congressional authority

If it is non-binding, then it cannot have the effect stated in that sentence, politically or legally.

Semantics. Shenanigans.

The swamp creatures that most desperately needed to be
informed, are currently engaged in a seditious conspiracy
and coup attempt, in order to avoid what’s due them for
their various crimes.

Operational security dictates that they remain uninformed.

Preferably until their arrests.

Congress has no business meddling in military affairs.

They can not like what he did all they want, but TRUMP is the Commander-in-Chief of the military and it’s his decision to make.

Nor did he declare war. He oversaw a legitimate military action that needed being done for national security, even if it meant taking out the dems hit man.

Trump’s approval rating. ~46%

Congress’ approval rating: 14%

Go scratch, Nancy.

Dear Morons in the Democratic Fascist Party

We have no need for any more meaningless “non binding” PR Stunts. We need you clowns to finally do the jobs you were hired to do.

Still trying to wrap my head around liberal thinking. Trump is condemned for a troop pull out of Syria, but also condemned for fighting Iran?

If Congress was actually doing it’s job, aka declaring war per their constitutional responsibility, there would have never been a War Powers Act. An act, BTW that grants the executive the authority to commit military forces in hostilities for up to 60 days WITHOUT the consent of congress and follow up with them on the details within 48 hours after committing forces.

So, the congress can go pound sand.

Nancy Pelosi should take that resolution and use the giant gavel to stuff it up her ass.

The Democrats oppose the President. Not exactly a revelation. I guess they do this kind of thing to please their few constituents who can speak and read English.

Philosophically, I agree with constraining a POTUS from unilateral war making.

If this resolution was not specifically directed at Trump and Iran I would support it wholeheartedly.

Alas, Democrats and some Republicans only seek to undermine the strength and resolve of the nation while under direct threat. And to undermine the CinC while hostilities are afoot.

And I call them traitors to the American people over it.
