Why is Trump starting a war with Venezuela?

[Phantasmal]

Trump is crazy..........like a fox.

He's keeping you off balance.
Eh....but that's no big feat.

Read the US Constitution. Only Congress can declare war.

Are you stupid....?
Back up your claim that Trump is starting a war with Venezuela. I don't buy your assumption.

I am not stupid.

He's a grandstanding, bloviating bully. It's easy to pick on weaker nations like Venezuela and Iran. But he avoids strong nations like Russia and China. Wonder why?

Good point!

 

[Hume]

Well, I would start with Thomas Jefferson and the Barbary Wars proving you wrong.

You mean the Constitution does NOT say only Congress can declare war? It explicitly states Congress and Congress alone declares war.

You mean the Constitution does NOT say only Congress can declare war? It explicitly states Congress and Congress alone declares war.

Yes, the Constitution does say that, but what constitutes a "war" is open to interpretation and today the War Powers Act (1973) gives the President, not Congress, the ability to go to war for up to 30 days and notifying Congress of that within 48 hours of doing so.

Yes, the Constitution does say that,

Good, at least you abide by facts.

That was modified by the War Powers Act of 1973. https://www.nixonlibrary.gov/news/war-powers-resolution-1973

Modified, not negated.

Stopping the flow of drugs through the vegetable’s intentionally open borders that have killed millions of people is a reaction to the treasonous president who caused this problem.

Okay, maybe just dyslexic.
Sorry, I shouldn't be so unkind to the disadvantaged.

 

[CBHype]

He’s stupid?

No, the premise is false.

I bet you were bitching and whining when Billy Clinton set a record for a president at 364 executive orders. Trump has quite a few more to go to beat that record.

I love what he is doing. Go ahead now and defend the lawlessness you support.

Clinton had 364 over an eight-year period. trump already has 429 in little more than 4-1/4 years. Furthermore, Clinton's number wasn't a record for all presidents since the beginning.

 

[christiefan915]

Clinton issued 364 in 8 years is that what you are saying?
Well Trump is on his way to issue a lot more the Bill did,
Trump had over 220 in his first term and has over 100 so far in this term and he has got over 3 years to go.

According to this list trump has 429 so far. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_federal_executive_orders
