So where is that declaration of war that is required by law. cause I still don't see it.

[-] tatterdemalion@programming.dev 23 points 4 days ago

Actually Congress is voting against stopping the illegal war that they never declared in the first place.

[-] TransNeko@lemmy.world 10 points 4 days ago

they still didn't actually declare war though.

just another thing to use when they are all charged with treason.

[-] tmyakal@infosec.pub 9 points 4 days ago

Who is getting charged? By whom? When do you think this would happen?

[-] village604@adultswim.fan 3 points 4 days ago

It wasn't illegal, unfortunately. He has the power to do it for 60 days before Congress has to weigh in.

[-] tatterdemalion@programming.dev 8 points 3 days ago

It's illegal.

The War Powers Resolution is a defensive exception to the rule:

The constitutional powers of the President as Commander-in-Chief to introduce United States Armed Forces into hostilities, or into situations where imminent involvement in hostilities is clearly indicated by the circumstances, are exercised only pursuant to (1) a declaration of war, (2) specific statutory authorization, or (3) a national emergency created by attack upon the United States, its territories or possessions, or its armed forces.

He has 34 felonies.

I dont think he cares about the law guys.

[-] tatterdemalion@programming.dev 2 points 2 days ago

The problem isn't that he doesn't care about the law. It's that our justice dept and congress don't either.

They did the bare minimum of just eliminating or replacing those in charge of enforcing it, because they lack so much basic decency they don't even feel the need to feign.

You guys quoting laws and constitution need to wake the fuck up.

[-] village604@adultswim.fan 1 points 4 days ago

And read the war powers act that gives Trump the power to do this.
