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.

He has been trying to dot his for a long time. Where inthe world is our Congress and why is he being allowed to do this??/ He cannot dothis without congressional approval, but if Congress isnrt there, he does as he pl=eases. he is becoming a dictator, and we have no congress to protect us.
I don’t think Obama wants to go down in history as the first president to leave the White House in handcuffs.
WHAT RESOLUTION IS THIS?
NO WAY = It won’t hold up with Dumbo as Pres.
BRING IT ON$#%&!@*
He gets away with it because they are in collusion with him. They want it that way. They can do something about it but aren’t going to because they were promised a cut of the cake if they went along. They can block his move but won’t. There has to be a significant social breakdown before he can call for martial law and the rules for that are already on the books but he’s making different plans and he was sworn to uphold, defend, and protect the Constitution not change it. The Congress can bring charges against him if he tries to circumvent the Constitution and sign other documents that would nullify the Constitution, it would break his oath of office and call for impeachment proceedings.
HELL NO !!!!!!
Sounds like a treasonous act by our Senate to give the Executive Branch too much power. Time for We the People to take back our government. #DonaldTrump #MikePence #JasonChaffetz #TreyGowdy #NewtGingrich #ChrisChristie #RudyGuilliani #BenCarson #SarahPalin #LauraIngraham #MakeAmericaGreatAgain
