Yes but if Trump is forced to veto then Congress is left again to reconsider how badly they want this to stop. We need congress to grow a pair of balls and this is apparently how it will be done.
If anybody powerful enough was ever going to stop this with nonviolence, it would have happened already.
They expect this to happen. It’s part of the process. It’s just more guidance on who to purge and who to villify in the media. It’ll have the same effect as the children who begged Trump to stop raping them.
In this case, it ought to work exactly the opposite of how you think: a Congressional resolution is supposed to be the only thing that gives Trump authority to engage in war to begin with, so the only thing vetoing one ought to be able to accomplish is to remove that authority. There isn’t supposed to be such a thing as as resolution disapproving of the President’s unconstitutional unilateral action; if anything, what Congress just did should be treated like revoking its prior approval and thus not be vetoable.
Ummm. Can’t Trump just veto anything Congress passes, anyway? This is all performative, at best.
