“...not sure what this Bill will accomplish...”
“...repeal decades-old authorizations for the use of military force used to justify years of attacks in the Middle East, an effort to shift back the authority to declare war to Congress from the White House.”
Yeah, I mean in a practical sense. Would this bill mean the immediate draw down of troops? Or is it just a power play by the branches of government?
FWIW, I always thought these use of force authorizations were improper. It’s a half-assed way to declare war without declaring it. Passive aggressiveness by our politicians, so they can take credit and assign blame depending on which way the winds blow. And of course I have lamented Congress’ abdication to the Executive Branch over the decades.
Do you think they will respect a Congressional resolution? Please.
