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.

Go straight to hell.
shame on the senators that voted for it . its easy to root out the communist loving vermine in congress
its all part of their plan for ww3. its coming people as soon as nov.
Tell this brain dead jackass that resolutions do not rewrite, amend, or change the Constitution in any way despite his delusional thinking. Further, changing the Constitution does NOT grant international controls to anyone, especially Obama. Any such attempts will be met with such force and resistance as to eliminate another dictatorial SOB that is more mentally ill than$#%&!@*
And Congress has no intestinal fortitude to stop this treason
He will declare martial law if it looks in any way that Killary will not get the Peoples White house. Just wait and see.
