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.

Welcome to the World according to the Evil deceiver Muslim in chief and the wicked witch of the left crooked Hillary !
I’m afraid if Obama tries to pick a fight with the American public, he will have bitten off more then he can chew. Our military will NOT turn against the people, regardless if what order Obama gives them. This will be worse for him then he thinks.
Do not count on that!
Revolution is then inevitable. No piece of paper will stop us citizens from protecting our nation!
What a fucking idiot. Links show their lack of intelligence quiet often
Nonsense. Resolutions cannot alter the Constitution.
Instead of signing those kinds of papers why not just impeach him before he actually does declare martial law? I guess stopping criminals in this country only applies to the regular people. People like Killery, dumbama, Reid and a bunch of other corrupt politicians makes them above the law? Seems like Congress and the Senate believe they can sit back, get rich and do nothing. Impeachment is what the people want, if you cannot manage that then you will be out of a job for dereliction of duty, making you all just as guilty of the same crimes.
Hell no
Sounds very wise to me and we just have to be smarter than what he is and take this POS DOWN !!!!!!!!!!! And don’t let him sneak off somewhere he needs to pay for what he has done
Impeach !!!!!
