The authorization of military force (AUMF) will annihilate the war powers clause and make our President a king in the realm of foreign policy.
That’s not an exaggeration.
If this AUMF passes, it has no limitations on the military power the President alone can project.
Like a king.
This kind of destructive legislation, combined with the hyper-political atmosphere inside the beltway, will result in the total destruction of the restraint Congress constitutionally employs to check our Presidents.
From InfoWars:
“Considering what Bush and Obama did with the 2001 AUMF—invading and occupying countries in ‘pre-emptive’ war, CIA black sites, extrajudicial killings, inventing the term ‘enemy combatants’ to bypass international law, new forms of torture, drone bombing women and children, and assassinating U.S. citizens—the specter of a new and expanded AUMF is truly frightening,” writes Justin Gardner.
Connecticut Democrat Sen. Chris said Graham’s “resolution is a total rewrite of the War Powers Clause in the U.S. Constitution. It is essentially a declaration of international martial law, a sweeping transfer of military power to the president that will allow him or her to send U.S. troops almost anywhere in the world, for almost any reason, with absolutely no limitations.”
There is no possible way this should happen. If a President can’t convince his skeptics that we need to defend ourselves, then that leader should look at their own motivations.
America is not for kings. We bring kings to their knees.

Stop this now.
Do you mean this unfounded, and hysterical, fear that our President is going to declare martial law and not leave office? What facts have lead you to believe such an insane idea?
Where do you people get such insane idea’s?
No matter what paranoia or fear you have, this will never happen.
And Congress has talked about giving more power to the President, but
hasn’t actually done do.
This is the same kind of hysterical c**p that the Dems said about Bush. And it was stupid then, too.
The American people will not stand for it! Try it and see what happens!!!
No!
We know who Barack Obama hates.
He is a lot like Louis Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam, ISIS, the Hamas, the New Black Panthers, the Muslim Brotherhood, Valerie Jarrett, George Soros, Hilary Clinton, and the Leaders in Iran who are screaming Death to America in the streets.
Obama hates Christians, Veterans, Patriorts, Conservatives, and anyone who loves the United States.
Just llike Muslims, Communitst, Socialists, and Fascists.
