He cannot launch an unprovoked attack on a foreign government. Good grief. He just committed a war crime.

You're unhinged.

Im sure you said the same on all of these.

Thomas Jefferson: Engaged in the First Barbary War against Barbary pirates who were attacking American ships.

James Madison: Led the United States into the Second Barbary War against Algiers.

James K. Polk: Led the United States into the Mexican-American War.

Franklin D. Roosevelt: Declared war on Japan after the attack on Pearl Harbor, and subsequently on Germany and Italy.

Harry S. Truman: Authorized military intervention in the Korean War.

Lyndon B. Johnson: Escalated U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War, including the Gulf of Tonkin incident.

George H.W. Bush: Ordered the invasion of Panama to overthrow Manuel Noriega and sent troops to Somalia.

George W. Bush: Launched the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Bill Clinton: Authorized military interventions in Haiti, the Balkans (including Kosovo), and launched cruise missile attacks on Iraq.

The President may authorize the launch of missiles as part of military operations introduced into hostilities without further Congressional approval so long as those operations remain within the 60-day (plus 30-day withdrawal) window set by the War Powers Resolution. The President must notify Congress within 48 hours of introducing forces and must terminate or withdraw forces within 60 days (or 90 days if safe withdrawal requires)

---

So, no, not illegal

---

There is no imminent threat to us though.

---

That doesn't matter. Even if it did, it'd be the executive branch who defines that threat.

Trump has 48 hrs to notify Congress. Congress has 60 days to give him full power or curtail him

I love people saying this was an unprovoked attack. Fox News just reviewed a long long list of attacks Iran has committed against the US.

And their own parliament vowed to destroy us with a nuclear weapon.

But yeah, this was totally an unprovoked attack on a sweet little innocent country that didn't do nuffin.

---

Putting a hit on Trump is pretty provocative

Honestly if he just bombs their nuclear sites they are getting off light

In 2011, American warplanes participated in a military intervention in Libya, specifically targeting Libyan air defenses and military forces

It's been absolutely incredible watching the American left side with illegal aliens and Iran over the past two weeks.
Leaving zero doubt about how much they despise this country.

Massie apparently didn't finish high school if he thinks this is unconstitutional.

Well, he's wrong in this case.

Congress now has 60 days to curtail any further actions. Id suggest he convince a majority of his peers to pass his bill

Ok, so we don't ever have to declare war again. We could literally drop a nuclear bomb and wipe out Mexican cuz "prez is CnC".

I learn something new on this board everyday.

Did you say that when reagan bombed libya?

Massie can not like it as much as he wants, but he's dead wrong on the constitutional question.

If he doesn't like a president having that kind of power, he's an effing senator. He should have been working to reform the War Powers Act to curtail this ability.

Well he is from Kentucky.

You learned to how build a strawman. Thats for sure!

The truth of the matter is these people just don't ever want Trump to be successful in anything so they will just make up and say it's unconstitutional they never want him to be victorious and they do not want him having a very, very successful second term because they can see it happening right before their face

I love how you conveniently ignore every action by our military since the Korean War.

You're being absurdly ridiculous.

IHIOGA that he, very clearly, said "1,2,3,4...I declare a THUMB war..." and one of his aides misheard him.

He's not a senator.

I can guarantee you that I did not, since I was 9 months old at the time.

I was still working on "Dada and Mama", which unfortunately took my focus off of my US foreign policy studies at the time.

I read a lot of books about history after I was all grown up, though...

That's actually 100% correct. We never declared war on Iraq or Afghanistan either, despite being there for years.

Your lack of even the basic understanding of how the U.S. government works is actually appalling.

Bad example. Congress authorized those military actions.

Congress hasn't declared war since WWII, how do people not know this?

Let me help you.

The Constitution authorizes Congress to pass laws. They passed the War Powers Act. The Constitution authorizes the courts to review and interpret the War Powers Act. They never declared it unconstitutional.
