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.

Yes and you DUM$#%&!@*mother fucker’s gave it to him just what the hell was you retarded$#%&!@*s thanking you$#%&!@*head’s
Time for someone in Secret Service to do America a favor and rid us of the slimeball
Frightening!
AND WHY DID YA’LL DO IT?…
why don’t they just ignore Obama
No wonder gun sales have soared…there would be a revolution if this horrible POTUS tried this…..
Hell no.
The government only has the power we the people grant and when it comes time to stop it we will.
It is commendable a Democrat is warning Republicans of Obama or any sitting President’s overreaching powers with the new bill SJ Res29 AUMF. This would give a President broad authority to deploy military troops anywhere in the world like under the war power clause of the Constitution in order to fight ISIS. Well..we have ISIS cells here in the US and if unchecked it “could” give the right for Marshall Law…full government control of “everything”! People need to understand Marshall Law!
Not!!!
