Sen. Tim ‘Sandinista’ Kaine from Virginia wants to restrict President Trump’s war power authority after the Iran bombings last weekend. He is putting forth a war powers resolution and says he has Republican support.
Kaine told Punchbowl News on Monday that he is privy to Senate GOP support of his resolution, saying that lawmakers have expressed interest in signing off on whether Congress and not just the president should have a say to attack other nations.
“I know I will have Republican support. How much is unclear,” Kaine said. “The day-to-day events will affect this…This is a very evolving situation.”
A vote that requires a simple majority for passage is expected to happen before the chamber’s July 4 recess, the senator added.
“It’s unconstitutional for a president to initiate a war like this without Congress,” Kaine said on Sunday. “Every member of Congress needs to vote on this.”
THERE WAS NO WAR. President Trump bombed three nuclear states in the rogue terrorist nation of Iran.
He may have some Republicans, but he doesn’t have Democrat Sen. Fetterman.

Grandstanding. DJT will just veto it.
Mossad reports Trump military actions did minimal damage to Iran’s nuclear program – perhaps 20-25% tops. Believe it.
Given Mossad’s track record versus the CIA/NSA, your best bet is Mossad.
All that happened was Trump used the hornets nest as a punching bag. The fallout is yet to happen.
Exactly as the Deep State wanted.
Note Cap does not back up his “Mossad” assessment claim with any documentation! As to 20-25%: if that included the centrifuges and the enriched material, but roads to the site etc are in tact, tat is devastating destruction.
Kaine is a kook but he has lots of company in the US Senate. I would ask where was Kaine and any other senator who would sign onto this resolution when Obongo was bombing virtually the entire Middle East? Why does this issue only seem to pop up when there is a Republican in the White House?
“Kaine is a kook but he has lots of company in the US Senate”
Can anyone names five Democrat senators that are not kooks?
Of course there are RINO’s that fit the kook label, also. No wonder we have a barely functioning senate.
All Democrats and probably at least half of Republican Senators should be replaced, including Senate Majority Leader John Thune, who is Mitch McConnell II.
