I see they have tried to stop Trump from initiating any kind of military action against Iran without the express permission of the Senate. These Democrats and the half dozen Republicans are really shooting themselves in the foot. So if a USA vessel is attacked in the gulf, Trump can just sit back and say what would you like me to do....it won’t happen of course because he will veto it, but the democrats and the half dozen Republicans are just throwing votes away. I have no doubt that something will be manufactured to prove this very scenario.......

Pete per the War Powers Resolution acts of war have to be approved by the Congress.

Trump and Obama both pushed the boundaries of this, but killing a high level Iranian official was too far. That is a direct assault on a country as opposed to terrorist group associated with a government. Subtle but important difference.

I agree, but what happens if some Iranian small boat fires a rocket at an American Ship...as will now almost certainly happen.....

There is a small sub group of senators (forgot what it is called) that can approve quick strike responses and special ops. They can even be briefed after the fact.
What was passed only prevents an all out war without congressional approval.
 
I think he also has real soldiers around him who may just suggest alternatives...I’m pretty sure he didn’t sort out the Iranian guy on his own......


Yes, Trump has proven himself to be reasonable and open to the advice of others. They are doing it because he is an incredibly stupid man who has no idea what he is doing. It is very clear to everyone Pete, no idea how you're not getting it

Yes. Those real soldier put the Iranian general on the list of possible responses as the WTF way over the top response that he was supposed to swerve. They have hopefully learned their lesson.

Then the President of the USA is no longer Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces......I’m not arguing whether he should or should not be, but that is the net effect...and the enemies of the USA will take advantage.....

The Iranian General was responsible for the deaths of many American and Allied soldiers, did he deserve to live ?....

Yet when he had the Iranian General killed, what message do you think it gave to other countries and ‘rogue generals’.....
