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.

These brainless easy maniplulated politicians do not realize the full potential of their bad decisions ! They think that if Obama does declare Martial Law that they will still have their powers. they are being very Delusional and almost as Demented as Obama ! Martial Law will only bring on Sharia Law ! I do not think ANY American Citizen wants their chldren raped by any Muslim Filth that carry diseases and sickness ! ISLAM is nothing but SATAN Worship that will bring destructon to the entire WORLD ! They do not bekong in Europe and they sure do not belong in America ! They are uncivilized Barabarians that were too stupid to become decent ! They all should be banned and Obama shoud be removed and deported immediately !
And let’s look at the timing. I think we all saw this coming way back when.
Spot on Cynthia! We the People 100 million strong and armed must stand and be ready. We also need our military to step up and do their sworn duty and arrest this traitor.
Lexington and Concord 1775
Our is full of nothing but corrupt politicians
They wont stand up. Congress came out along time ago and said their hands were tied, they said it was up to the people to stop it if this isnt what we want which even explains why congress hasnt done anything.. they cant. I think they have all been threatened!
You can’t rewrite the constitution. Period, This is not legal, It is corrupt. I don’t care what they think they passed, it can’t be done. This will be war if they try this. Obama needs to be arrested along with anyone who agreed to this, it goes against their oath of office, the oath theyy all took to uphold and defend the constitution. The fact that they went against their oath, should nulify their possition and make them no more than crimanals who are tresspassing. They all need to be removed from DC and charged as traitors.
You dont understand.. There is no legal or illegal anymore in america.. You people better go out and read the obamacare bill.. You know it has to be bad if pelosi said they didnt read it before they passed it. they had to sign it before they found out what was in it. HOW EFFIN BIZARRE IS THAT? Im telling you.. People would be up in arms if they would just read it!

I thought only a convention of the states could change the constitution or am I wrong?
