Leaving NATO should be from the full congress

Not just one person

NATO is worthless, all it is is America defending Europe.

No other countries actually do anything of importance and certainly don't fund it.

It's all us, why do we need NATO?

If there is ever a conflict how about the president just picks up the phone and makes an alliance like we used to do?
