The Constitution’s War Powers Clause was recently and quietly being revised by Congress, and may give President Barack Obama broad authority to wage war across the globe without congressional consent.
The bill was proposed by Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, and was quickly denounced by Democrat Senator Chris Murphy, who claimed that President’s newfound authority doesn’t stop at the American border. It would allow him to deploy war troops inside the United States, as well.
The bill is an apparent throwback to the era of manifest destiny in the U.S. Undeterred by recent failures in Afghanistan and Iraq, our president and Congress are once again becoming obsessed with policing the entire world by means of the military. This time, however, even American towns are under threat of military takeover.
See how the bill authorizes our president to enact martial law in the United States on the next page:
still lost in fairyland?
D/C BETTER THINK ABOUT A REVOLUTION BEFORE DECLARING ANYTHING. HE BEST LIE LOW AND SING EASY FOR THE NEXT 6 MONTHS. HE HAS STIRED UP TOO MUCH HATRED IN THIS NATION AND SOME OF THEM ARE OUT OF CONTROL
If the liberal media had spent as much time vetting and going after the usurper in the White House as they have Trump, our nation would not be in the mess it is today… We The People blame both the liberal media, and our law makers…. This is a very toxic and volatile time in our history… Americans are forgiving and well restrained right now… It would do for our political leaders, and the corrupt liberal media to heed the warning signs, that We The People have been projecting… After all, it is their fault we are in this mess… It is time to remove Obama from the Oval Office…. Time is of the essence….
You don’t need to be giving Obama any more Authority if anything ,if anything we need to take authority away from him
We do not need to look further to find that we have been sold out. We have hundreds of elected people who are suppose to be helping us stay safe and they let one man with dictator personality have total control over Martial Law. I give up – we can fight danger when it comes from the outside, but when it is deliberate and within and lies with a bunch of do nothing government – what can we do – vote them out you say – sorry people don’t have a clue what is going on. We are just screwed.
McConnell proposed this? Need more proof of him being the worst kind of RINO there is

And your Muslim Brotherhood are cowards won’t fce anyone straight up, our malitias have been growing by leaps and bounds, 250,000 here 50,000 there, 30,000 there.
