U.S. lawmakers will try again next week to pass a resolution to halt the Iran war and force President Donald Trump to obtain Congress’ approval for any further attacks, Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer said on Wednesday, hours after Trump announced a two-week ceasefire.
“Congress must reassert its authority, especially at this dangerous moment,” Schumer told a press conference at his office in New York.
Trump agreed to the ceasefire on Tuesday, less than two hours before his deadline for Tehran to reopen the blockaded Strait of Hormuz or face devastating attacks on its civilian infrastructure.
Trump’s threat that “a whole civilization will die tonight” prompted global concern and censure from Democrats, dozens of whom called for Trump’s removal from office. The 1949 Geneva Conventions on humanitarian conduct in war prohibit attacks on sites considered essential for civilians.
Schumer called Trump’s statements “unhinged” and criticized the war for failing to weaken Iran’s government or rein in its nuclear program, while global fuel prices have risen.
When will this idea die? If anyone is still on the fence about Trump they are a lost cause. I don’t mean that in the internet edgelord sense but a literal one. Stop wasting time on idiots and people happily guzzling propaganda. They will never ever change. Give up on them. They want to physically harm you.
The same day “leftists never vote” does, presumably.
Politicians chase the voters they want.
you need 2/3rds of the senate to remove him
Are you going to pass up the opportunity to throw him out on his ass because his voters are shitheels???
Not all republicans are maga and trump has let everyone in America down everyone
Caeser was removed with far less
I see a military coup and a forced rewrite of the constitution to reimpose balance and a restructuring of the judicial branch, term limits imposed and a weakening of the executive branch to be ceremonial to prevent a dictator assuming control again. Trump should be the jolt the country needs. The constitution and political systems are fundamentally not fit for purpose.
Military dictatorships, famous for their commitment to balance, fairness, and term limits
