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 already got the bill approved a year ago, to have the ability to declare martial law without congressional approval. Congress wiped their hands clean of us so they couldn’t be held responsible when Obama moved on Martial law.
Our congress is no longer democrat or republican & they don’t represent, “THE PEOPLE”.. Congress has become complicit with the new world order & is only interested in that agenda, backed by the UN.. This resolution will put the ELITE in charge of EVERYTHING to make us slaves.. All you have to see, is that this administration wants Homeland Security(muslim brotherhood) to oversee the election.. Talk about a rigged system, George Soros is right, it will guarantee a Clinton presidency.
Where is congress to allow this kind of power to be given to president? The president doesn’t make laws, the legislature does…
A resolution has no power to rewrite anything. it is just a statement for or against policy.
I sure hope so. Cuz if not…this country will cease to exist
Revolution
He is a real snake.
What a bunch of idiots

Article III, section 3 of the Constitution “Any person who levies War against the United States or adheres to its enemies by giving them Aid and Comfort has committed treason within the meaning of the Constitution. The term aid and comfort refers to any act that manifests a betrayal of allegiance to the United States, such as furnishing enemies with Arms, Troops, Transportation, Shelter, or Classified Information. If a subversive act has any tendency to weaken the power of the United States to attack or resist its enemies, aid and comfort has been given.”
Under such Hillary and Obama has committed such with Benghazi, supplying arms to what is now ISIS.
Hillary has compromised classified information.
The Iran Deal has a subversive act of weakening the power of the United States.
The firing of long standing generals who oppose Obama’s leadership is weakening the power of the United States.
Anyone who supports the Iran deal are also in contempt of this provision in the constitution.
The President undermining and allowing illegal aliens in this country, has allowed criminals in this country, including ISIS members with oncoming ‘refugees’ and open borders…providing aid and comfort to these people. Clinton and Bernie sanders on National Television stated they want to give aid, free housing, free college to these illegal aliens and refugees. Such is all considered treasonous under our constitution for undermining the safety of this country and its citizens.
