The Authorization for Use of Military Force passed by the Senate is a rewrite of the Constitution’s War Powers clause and grants the President broad authority to deploy ground troops almost everywhere in the world, including the United States. That’s the warning being voiced by Democratic Senator Chris Murphy in response to the AUMF bill proposed by Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.
The bill would grant the president overwhelming control over where the US forces are deployed, which is scary for two reasons. The first is the obvious threat to American citizens’ rights. If the military can be sent to an American city based on loose justifications, they could be used to impose martial law and even empower a police state that has already grown too powerful.
The second reason is the plain call back to Manifest Destiny. Americans do not want to police the world. If the European Union is too busy handling the migrant crisis and Russia has finally come to terms with the harsh economic reality that their country is on the brink of collapse, it would leave the United States to ensure the sovereignty of all democratic nations. A solution that nobody would want.

Lol funny! We would still have our twin towers if Obama was president! Obama is for the people he won’t do that to America! Remember 911 28 blank pages between the Bush family and Saudi royal family? The Saudi royal family left the country during 9-11 too! How can you just ignore Afghanistan and Iraq? Obama eliminated Bin Laden who is Muslim! But Bin Laden was on American soil with the Bush family? Obama brought a large majority of our service men and women home from those Muslim countries! But I guess Trump should run our country? Lol this is funny!
