Trump Slapped With ‘Impeachment’ Threats After Bombing Iran | Top Democrats are calling for action over Trump’s “unconstitutional” actions.

Nothing of the sort will happen before the next congress, and even then, it’s a stretch.

AOC: The President’s disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers.

He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations.

It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.

Unless the GOP gets some guts and stops worshiping Trump, it’s clearly not going anywhere.

Since the war on terror started, isn’t illegally bombing a mideast country kind of a right of passage for presidents?

Republicans only care about one amendment to the Constitution

He provides grounds for impeachment on nearly a daily basis. There should be a stack of articles already drafted and introduced into the record even if the GOP will block them all. It is one things Dems could be doing is documenting in the record of Congress all of his illegal actions and corruption.

Who you gonna call?

GOP is really gunna let this guy ruin the country aren’t they?

According to Google,

While only Congress has the power to formally “declare war,” many U.S. presidents have ordered military actions in other countries without a specific congressional declaration of war. This has been a long-standing point of debate regarding the constitutional powers of the executive and legislative branches.

Some notable examples of presidents who have ordered military attacks without a formal declaration of war include:

* **Harry Truman:** Sent U.S. forces into combat in Korea in 1950, which he characterized as a “police action” under the United Nations.
* **Lyndon B. Johnson and Richard Nixon:** Committed U.S. troops to Southeast Asia during the Vietnam War without a declaration of war. This led to the passage of the War Powers Resolution in 1973, intended to limit presidential authority in such situations.
* **Ronald Reagan:** Ordered the use of military force in various places, including Libya, Grenada, and Lebanon.
* **George H.W. Bush:** Directed an invasion of Panama to topple the government of Manuel Noriega. He also deployed troops to Kuwait in 1990, arguing he had the right to do so even without congressional approval, though Congress ultimately authorized the use of force for Operation Desert Storm.
* **Bill Clinton:** Ordered military actions in places like Bosnia and Kosovo (e.g., the bombing of Kosovo in 1999).
* **George W. Bush:** Ordered military action in Afghanistan and Iraq following the September 11th attacks, operating under Authorizations for the Use of Military Force (AUMFs) passed by Congress.
* **Barack Obama:** Ordered a military intervention in Libya in 2011 without seeking congressional approval, arguing it did not fall under the War Powers Resolution. He also authorized air strikes against the Islamic State in 2014, citing the 2002 AUMF.
* **Donald Trump:** Ordered missile strikes against Syria in 2017 after a chemical warfare attack, and a drone strike that killed Iranian General Qassem Soleimani in 2020.
* **Joe Biden:** Has cited AUMFs and Article II powers for military actions against Iran-backed militant groups in Iraq, Syria, Yemen, and the Red Sea.

The War Powers Resolution of 1973 attempts to define and limit the President’s power to commit U.S. forces to hostilities without congressional consent, requiring notification to Congress within 48 hours and setting a 60-day limit on deployments without congressional authorization. However, presidents have often interpreted their constitutional powers as Commander-in-Chief broadly, leading to ongoing debates and controversies over military actions abroad.

Ultimately the Democrats can do NOTHING as long as they do not have a (significant) majority in the Senate! If Jan. 6 didn’t prove that then nothing will. The only way ANYTHING will change is if there’s an historic blue wave next fall. & If striking Iran does in fact lead to a split in the MAGA base, that combined with the economic fallout from the tariffs just might be enough to make it happen. But we’re still eons from that moment politically, so much can happen either way between now & then. 

I don’t want talking, I want some fucking walking. March his ass out of the White House and let’s get an adult in place.

Problem is the GOP are complicit and half of them likely have done illegal shit for maintaining power. They won’t flip because they would be in trouble too.

Just keep introducing articles of impeachment. At least we’ll have a record of all the radical, impeachable offenses he’s committed. I’m not gonna hold out hope for any GOP taint lickers to join, but at least it’s a nice record keeping activity.

Throw it on the pile with the others

Republicans in congress don’t care. Things aren’t changing until they grow a set or we revert to the 1860s way of handling things.
