War Powers Act

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) expects to receive no Democrat support when his resolution on withdrawing American troops from Syria is up for a vote on Wednesday, he told Breitbart News in an exclusive interview.

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) falsely claimed during the Democrat presidential debate Tuesday night that former George W. Bush vetoed the Yemen War Powers resolution. President Donald Trump vetoed that bill. 

During a press conference on Tuesday, Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA) stated that his war powers resolution has enough votes to pass the Senate due to the support of Sens. Mike Lee (R-UT), Rand Paul (R-KY), Todd Young (R-IN), and Susan

On Monday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Rachel Maddow Show,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) stated that an image President Trump retweeted depicting both Schumer and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) wearing traditional Muslim attire and in front of an Iranian flag “makes enacting a War Powers Act so important. Because it shows that this president, when it comes to things like this, is almost out of control.”

A War Powers measure passed the House of Representatives on Thursday in what Democrats pushing it said was an effort to restrain President Donald Trump’s power when it comes to military response to Iranian aggression.

House Democrats rejected a motion that would have praised the American military and reaffirmed the House’s opposition to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-Quds Force.

Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) told Breitbart News in an exclusive interview Thursday that, despite the media’s portrayal of his comments, the “worst” military briefing he ever received was the deceptive briefing on the 2012 attack on the Benghazi consulate.

The House’s vote on a War Powers Resolution on Thursday to restrict the president’s ability to take military actions with regard to Iran does nothing of the sort.

While speaking with CNN on Wednesday, Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) reacted to Senator Rand Paul’s (R-KY) and Senator Mike Lee’s (R-UT) criticism of the Trump administration’s Iran briefing by stating that Lee and Paul are “overreacting,” and playing with the

Joe Biden argued during his failed 2008 White House run that the president had the authority to circumvent congress and go to war provided there was sufficient evidence of an “imminent attack.”

“You can’t have 535 commanders-in-chief,” said Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA)  of Democrats’ criticisms of President Donald Trump’s directive to eliminate Islamic terrorist Qasem Soleimani, offering his remarks on Tuesday’s edition of SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Daily in an interview with Alex Marlow.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Senate Foreign Relations Committee Ranking Member Bob Menendez (D-NJ) called on President Donald Trump Monday to declassify the administration’s notification of hostilities against Iran.

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) wrote a letter to her Democrat colleagues in the House on Sunday to reveal a new “War Powers Resolution” that amounts to a pre-emptive surrender to Iran in ongoing hostilities.

Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) on Friday cheered the United States’ military strike against Iranian top military commander Qasem Soleimani as a victory for the safety of the American people.

A bipartisan group of lawmakers has banded together, urging President Donald Trump to sign into law the historic War Powers Resolution that hit his desk on Thursday and reject a push from globalist forces for him to veto it.

Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA), a progressive Democrat, told Breitbart News exclusively that he would love to meet with President Donald Trump along with a bipartisan coalition of members of Congress to pitch the president on signing the War Powers Resolution to end the unconstitutional war in Yemen.

Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA), a progressive Democrat who is the co-chairman of the 2020 Democrat presidential campaign for Vermont independent Sen. Bernie Sanders, told Breitbart News in an exclusive interview that he hopes a bipartisan coalition comes together to work with President Donald Trump to end a number of wars and U.S. military conflicts worldwide.

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) told Breitbart News it was an “extraordinary moment” when the U.S. Senate on Thursday passed a resolution to invoke the War Powers act expressing congressional disapproval of U.S. backing of Saudi Arabia’s war in Yemen.

The Committee for Responsible Foreign Policy will host an event this week examining the role of constitutional war powers.

The Senate resolution invoking the War Powers Act to demand the administration seek congressional authorization or withdraw American support from Saudi Arabia’s military operations in Yemen is set to come to a vote as early as Tuesday, according to an NBC News report.

37 leading foreign policy academics, public intellectuals, and activists from across the traditional political spectrum delivered an open letter to senators Thursday, urging support for a resolution to rein in U.S. involvement in Yemen’s civil war.

The presidency’s progressive usurpation of congressional authorities related to war since 1950 has ushered in “interminable war-making,” Col. Lawrence Wilkerson (Ret.) said in a Wednesday interview on SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Tonight with Senior Editor-at-Large Rebecca Mansour.

A bipartisan coalition has emerged in the Senate to invoke the War Powers Resolution to stop U.S. military participation in Saudi Arabia’s war in Yemen. 

President-elect Donald Trump named Thomas Bossert his deputy for domestic and transnational security priorities, which will be an equal and distinct portfolio from the portfolio given to incoming National Security Adviser Michael Flynn.
