Unfortunately our Constitution isn’t worth the paper its gift shop reproductions are printed on. Unfortunately, it’s been that way for a long, long time.
Well, we're waiting, any day now, determine away you useless feckless fuck.
He’s. it useless. He’s just alone. AOC and him are the only Democrats speaking out throughout this whole shit show
The constitution means nothing. Trump wipes his ass with it and there’s no consequences

Keep pissing into the wind, Bernie.
Ummm, has that ever stopped any president, ever?
The POTUS has a window of discretion where he can act unilaterally without congressional approval. And they ALL have done so over many terms.
The hard stop is when congress needs to appropriate funds to pay for the war/police action.
Maybe we need to take away those powers and put Congress in control.
Perhaps. Until there is a real crisis that does require immediate action. There is no good answer here. Have a window of discretion, or be unable to trigger action and get innocent people killed due to inaction.
Which do you prefer?
Remember Vietnam?
The president has the power to deploy the military even without a declaration
This is why Congress passed the War Powers Resolution. It's an open question whether the law matters.
Every President says they are not constrained, Congress says that they are. The Supreme Court says, "this is a political question, not a legal question, so the executive and legislative have to sort it out".
Then it’s no longer a constitutional problem, I think the poster should know better

Congress has been shirking their responsibility to declare wars since the Gulf of Tonkin incident in 1964. They gave Presidents the power to carry out military actions abroad without a formal declaration. By passing the responsibility on to the president, Congress gets to avoid the blame for unpopular wars.
Even the Vietnam "War" which lasted 10 years, was never declared by Congress.
If they haven’t noticed. Trump does whatever the fuck he wants. If he ignores the ruling of courts, do they think he will read a post on X and be like “oh shit, you’re right.” No, posts on X are fucking useless. He will ignore congress like he does everything else. His ego is severely damaged after the little parade and leaders not worshipping him at G7. He is realizing his place in the food chain and looking for a win to boost his ego.
What a sweet old man.
After watching some of the footage on Saturday, it's annoying to think "these are the people who will need to pull off a coup?"
Well, shit.
By Trump's rules: Have no plan, just do the opposite of what the liberals want
Now he has to
