I have been very vocal on what I think of our dynamite Congress…..personally I think they are lazy and just plain…cowards!

Back in the day when Obama made the decision to attack Syria, especially the ISIS controlled area….I said then that I thought it was an illegal act without the Congress in approval…..and surprised me many Repubs were saying the same thing……but that quickly died an inglorious death….why?  2016 election!

you see if they tried to force Obama’s hand on this issue they would appear to be weak and it was more important that they push it off the table than do what they originally said they would do….

To say that I have lost all respect for the institution would be an understatement…..but when I thought these toads could not get more cowardly…..I was mistaken……

Speaking today on ABC’s This Week, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R – KY) dismissed the efforts of House Speaker Paul Ryan (R – WI) to explore a possible Authorization of the Use of Military Force (AUMF) for the ongoing ISIS war, saying he didn’t see it as feasible.

McConnell went on to say he “couldn’t imagine” passing any AUMF in the Senate that President Obama would sign, saying any such authorization would “tie the hands of the next president” on the war, saying the next president will have to clean up the mess.

The War Powers Resolution of 1973 forbids the US from entering any armed conflict longer than 60 days without an explicit vote authorizing it from Congress. The ISIS war has been ongoing for over a year and a half with no such vote ever taking place.

Did you get that?  War Powers Resolution of 1973 forbids the US from entering any armed conflict……..without approval of Congress…..

How long is the ISIS been happening?  18 months more or less…..what happen to the Constitutionality of anything ?  Maybe I was right…..the Constitution is just nothing more than a political prop….

What say you?
