Did representatives from the U.S. House and Sentate vote to authorize this?

No. You're full of shit. It's Trump's Executive Branch demanding quotas from the Pentagon that led to bad information being used to murder 100+ children. No surprise with "No Tab Pete" at the helm of the Pentagon.

Maybe if Republican and Democrat elected representatives had an oppportunity to authorize the Iran war, I would listen to you.

Respectfully, your argument is bullshit. Produce voting records authorizing the war, or shut up.

Every family member of a fallen U.S. Service Member should be seeking you out right now for how many American soliders have been lost to this Congressionally unauthorized war, with no results to show for it but record high Diesel prices causing American farmers to go bankrupt.

They haven't voted to stop it, either. We're way past 90 days, it's a choice for congress not to exercise their power.

Schumer could be raising hell and disrupting everything in the senate in order to force a vote, it would be incredibly popular and define the midterms, but he's choosing not to.


The U.S. House has, after bad polling more Republicans are turning on Trump leading up to the midterms.

Took them a few tries to even get there, and the senate hasn't even taken it up for consideration. Chuck Schumer wants this war, even though 60% of Americans and like 90% of democrats are against it. He just needs deniability to blame it on Trump.

Just came back to this. I am genuinely curious: were you expecting to start a discussion with such a disrespectful reply, or were you just ragebaiting?

I'm genuienly curious to continue the discussion you started if you want to give it the time. If you're too senstive about the tone I used, I understand. Respect is earned, and I'm willing to listen.

War is authorized by Congressional vote. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_Powers_Clause

U.S. Presidents on their own can not declare a never-ending (failure so far) war without Congress. The ruling party in Congress has had plenty of opportunities to attach their names to a vote to authorize the so-far unauthorized war, yet they have not due to a dereliction of duty to their constituents, who are now starting to realize they are paying the price.

I really want to see which Republicans and Democrats would attach their name in a vote to authorize the war after U.S. Military incompetence murdered 100+ children on day one of the operation.
