War Powers Reform


For John, BLUFCongress needs to assert itself in this area.  Nothing to see here; just move along.



From an interested source, The Stars and Stripes, is an Associated Press article on Senators John McCain (R-AZ) and Tim Kaine (D-VA), who banded together and…
unveiled legislation on Thursday that would repeal the 1973 War Powers Resolution, often ignored by presidents of both parties, and replace it with a new law that requires greater consultation and a congressional vote within 30 days on any significant armed conflict.
I absolutely agree with the action of Senators Kaine and McCain.

  1. But Obama says he just can't wait....and he has a pen and a phone. When you have an infestation of cockroaches, you have to get rid of them before you can begin taking preventive measures.
