THE WAR POWERS ACT: SENATE AND HOUSE VOTES

Democrats’ latest attempt to prevent President Trump from FINALLY dealing with the murderous Iran regime has failed.

From Nik Popli’s article at Time Magazine (yes, it still exists, sort of):

The Republican-led House on Thursday rejected a measure aimed at blocking President Donald Trump from carrying out further military strikes on Iran without congressional approval, delivering a victory for the White House even as lawmakers voice deep unease about the widening conflict.

The War Powers Resolution, introduced by Reps. Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie, failed in a 212-219 vote after Republican leaders rallied enough support to defeat it, allowing the Administration to continue its military campaign against Iran for now without seeking new authorization from Congress.

All House Democrats voted for the resolution except for Reps. Henry Cuellar of Texas, Jared Golden of Maine, Greg Landsman of Ohio, and Juan Vargas of California. Reps. Warren Davidson of Ohio and Thomas Massie of Kentucky joined the majority of Democrats as the only Republicans voting in favor of it.

The House vote came a day after the Senate blocked a similar effort led by Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia. That measure failed to clear a procedural hurdle in a 47–53 vote largely along party lines, with most Republicans opposing it and most Democrats backing it.

We are in the process of taking out a regime that has offered nothing but hatred and mass murder – including murder of its own people – for almost five decades.  As you can see, virtually every Republican supports doing so.  But virtually every Democrat is willing to stop this campaign in its tracks.

WHY?

Because of their hatred of Donald Trump?  Because they would rather let the “death to America – death to Israel” supporters/financiers of international terrorism stay in place than take out the murderous mullahs of Iran and give Trump/Republicans a victory before the midterm elections?  Because instead of supporting and being part of this victory, they would rather hand Iran back to the khamenei crowd?

Can you imagine Republicans trying to stop FDR during World War II? That is what Democrats have just tried to do with Iran.

What does this tell you about how far the Democrat Party, under its current “leadership”, has sunk?  Plenty, that’s what.
