Should Matt Gaetz have voted FOR Pelosi War Power Resolution on Iran?

Dude, you should be happy your guy isn't lockstep with anyone. Plus, I really don't think Iran deserves to be vaporized by the US Air force but that might just be me.

I would vote with gaetz, because war has been terrible for our people.

Caveat: I've been to war twice and plan to vote for trump a second time.

It's OK to peacefully disagree.

It's scary to me that the right is becoming as a hive mind just as the left been.

"Resolutions" are non-binding...dog & pony show...who gives a flying fuck! It's all over, but the crying!

That's pretty smart op.
Which leftists are you going to support?

Think, stop reacting and think.

Fuck this op. Useless and it's like talking to a leftist. Hmmmm

I am happy but not with this. Has no effect and helps the anti American Pelosi.

This, and Gaetz/Trump both know this.

Trump doesn’t give a shit what pelosi wants - nor should he. They won’t setup anything he cant veto.

Maybe he was drunk again and hit the wrong button?

He has a history of drunkenness.

Exactly...and the butt-hurt is so obvious, through their desperate non-actions!

It’s not really a Nancy Pelosi thing, technically this is the responsibility of congress and they abdicated their powers to the president letting him basically attack anyone they want short of declaring war for the last few decades which is not how it is suppose to be. Needing congressional permission to start a war with a new country is not a bad thing... I don’t see how anyone can even think that it is, war costs trillions and we have more or less already bankrupted our country with war. We will eventually have to face the reality of our debt especially once the annual interest is in the multi trillions per year (it’s nearly 1 trillion interest per year now)

Yeah you are right is very good to be tough but someone at some point has to tone down a bit. This is a country not a bar where whoever shoots first wins.

Who dat?

It's not Pelosi's War Power Resolution! It's been a federal law since 1973 and the Authorization for use of Military Force violates the War Powers Act. Congress abdicated their responsibility after 911 to the Bush administration and then Obama. Gaetz's vote is correct in principle but this shows Pelosi's House as being bunch of hypocrites just because they don't like Trump or his decisions.

Pelosi's War Powers Act, has as much law enforcement behind

it as a New Years Resolution make by countless million on

New Years Eve. Every President IS Commander in Chief, his #

1 Priority is the safety of his troops.

I'm disgusted with him. But don't let your non vote mean a Dem will get elected.

President cannot start a war, per the constitution.

I’m not sure of what the timing requirements are, but in order to make a motion to reconsider a vote, the person making the motion must have voted FOR the action. Maybe he’s going to bring it back for more?

War can be started many ways.

GWOT was congressionally approved.

FUCK OFF Matt Gaetz!!! Excuse the language but this is brain dead stupid.....I would have never have seen this coming!!

Good, let him show his true colors.
He's an egotistical traitor.

This^^^ Matt's been really good for Trump.

Ever since Bush Pesidents have gone off and started stuff (committed acts of war) without the necessary Congressional approval. It is a bad precedent and should not be tolerated, CONGRESS....DO YOUR FRICKIN' JOB!

It is true that in the case of "imminent harm" the President can act without Congressional approval....and that is the way this supposedly happened. However, Rand Paul disagreed with that conclusion in the briefing....so I'm not sure it really was "imminient." The "rushing" of the embassy seemed "imminent" to me though. But, eliminating the General because if that...yeah could be a reasonable response to an "imminent" threat so I give Trump the benefit of the doubt on this.

Still. I agree with Gaetz that you need Congressional approval before you start a war. Bush abused the process, Obama abused the process....I think this is a bad idea no matter which party is in control. It is not the Presidents decision to start a war or not.

Thread: IS NANCY PELOSI MENTALLY uNSTABLE?

These few republicans going against trump

Are having a hard time keeping a straight face

They are intentionally mocking the process

So we can see and learn the

How much better thing are

With result oriented ppl in charge

Sometimes a free and open society can be frustrating as hell.

But for those of you who missed it. The leftist is using our free and open society to run over our Constitution and our Bill of Rights because Orange Man Bad.

I guess my point is you have a right to be critical of any elected official. But in this case there are bigger fish to fry.

This is the first good thing Matt has done in a long time.

It doesn't matter... it's non-binding, and he knows it. He is appeasing his constituents.

This is the best though:

Yes,

It shows or makes it appear he is a fair player even though he knew it was going to pass anyway and could be vetoed.

It takes the wind out of he dems sails that the entire senate votes party line, takes away a talking point or makes one.

All you need to know about that candyass.
