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.

Never thought I would agree with a current Democrat.
That’s way to much power for someone who is smart. Way out of obamas talent level.

Barbara Beatty Kick Obama out NOW!He has brought nothing but grief and harm to the USA by his evil deeds !
OK let’s stop with being mister nice guy and being PC with this election! Each of our family’s future rests with what kind of country we are going to leave for them to live in, based on who we are going to put in the Oval Office! The media is pounding away each and every minute to sway us to believe she will win this election! But what kind of country do you want? A country that rewards lies, deception, corruption and out right criminal activity to get what you think is owed to you? Or do you want one where we can be united as a people and love each other as the American Citizens of our past generations did? They fought, bled, and yes, gave their lives for our country! Are we going to let their sacrifices go to waste? Stand up be proud that we are a nation built on laws that protect each and every one of us, and treats every one as equal under these laws! Don’t let our country become a third world country where bribes, money, corruption and fear mongering rule us! Fight for what we know in our heart of hearts is the right thing to do! Destroy the evil that is trying to ruin what we have as a nation by voting for someone who is fighting with everything he has for all Americans, black, white, poor, middle class, blue collar working class and yes even the well off! Take a few moments to remember what our country was like and what you want to leave for the next generations and go out and vote for who will BEST SERVE OUR COUNTRY!!
I don’t know or care who proposed it. It’s bad news!
