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.

Mitch McConnel has turned his back on the people , it would be a tragedy if Obama is given more power over Martial Law , this is what he wants to turn our nation into a Muslim state ! It can’t happen !
This guy & all who signed off on anything this IDIOTIC must have forgotten that for the CONSTITUTION to be changed as this is said it takes 39 states to sign off & with all the BS since OBAMA CARE I do not think THE FOOL on the Hill can convince 39 Governors to approve this May be 5 or 6 but rest HATES OBAMA & has NO respect for him
This way over board Obama should be censored and reduce powers he has given himself. This so far out of line with our laws.
