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.

GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH.
Our military will not obey you they do not respect him and they also realize he’s against America this is not the president of the United States this is the president that holds the office of the United States but is really the president of terrorist groups from the Middle East
Whether this happens or not, may we lean upon the LORD father GOD for his safety and security. The evil of this world is starting to unveil before our eyes. I just pray to GOD in JESUS name that this is only a false message.
