Rand Paul tried to get a vote on a resolution concerning presidential powers under the Constitution, but democrats have effectively killed the bill without allowing it to come to a vote. The resolution was worded exactly as follows:
Quote:
|
'The president does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation.'
|
It's little wonder that democrats reject this sentiment (without even allowing it to come to a vote) given that
the author of the aforementioned resolution is quite radical and a generally unsavory person.
