House Dem calls for bill to restrict Trump's ability to launch preemptive nukes

Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) called on Wednesday for lawmakers to pass a measure barring President Trump from launching a preemptive nuclear strike on North Korea without congressional approval.


<snip>

Another House Democrat, Rep. Eric Swalwell (Calif.), similarly called on Tuesday for lawmakers to have a say in whether Trump launches a preemptive nuclear strike on North Korea.

Democrats in both the House and the Senate have introduced legislation that would curb the president's ability to conduct such a strike without getting an OK from lawmakers. - The Hill

All curtesy of the US taxpayer.

They don't really care what happens to the country or American citizens.

a shit about the Constitution, could they send in US marshals to arrest him since he is a threat to himself and others??

They really need to get this madman out of office.

I think we as citizens need to make those calls to our Senators and Reps, we need to drive them crazy and say he needs to go. I called my Senators last night after the tweets he made to NK, and I understand Twitter was on fire with tweets from ordinary Americans saying he needs to be banned. Is that correct???
