Means what exactly? Why do we need a performative resolution when its already the law and explicitly in the constitution? If you can't enforce existing law, it doesn't mean anything. He's never going to sign that, and even if he did, he wouldn't follow it because he's already ignoring existing law

The ballot or the ..... Tick tock, Mike. If we can't fix this by voting, the whole fucking thing needs to burn down.

Can the president veto? Declaration of War is a power of Congress. He needs permission to continue his war. He can't legally veto if the answer is No.

Is Trump even capable of understanding, and which will the military obey?

What kind of Mickey Mouse system you've got there that the President can veto a bill limiting his powers?

He took office in January 25. It took 17 months for someone to put a hurdle up for him to jump over while the gop pushes him across the line. Like the guy says. Its your job.

No...it's symbolic.

This vote makes no difference. Our Congress will vote to fund the Israeli military and for our military to fight in Israeli wars anyway.

Your country double tapped a school and killed more kids in a few minutes than the top ten school shootings in US history. 168 > 149. Your system isn't even close to waking up. If it were, this fact would be repeated ad nauseam until hegseth and trump were in shackles. So it goes.

"The president can veto"... What the actual... This whole exercise is worthless then.

As an aside, unless federal regulators do the right thing for American consumers, in the very near future you won't see headlines like that from CNN.

It's actually insane that the president still has to sign off on limiting his own power, especially given that he never had that legal power in the first place.

System waking up after your Senate peers voted for his nominations while they ignored their phone lines? The same for every fascist bill? Glad you are awake. Too bad you slept in. For over a year. Think of where we would be at if @democrats.org recognized this threat a year ago. Or 5. Or even 10.

The people’s house didn’t say squat! A few pissed of republicans who lost their elections tried to say eat shit Trump that’s all. And remember this war will continue on its path due to the fact that it’s not a war remember?

WE THE PEOPLE HAVE HAD ENOUGH.

It took this long for the system to "wake up"? Yeah, no.

Under Trump, “symbolic” means nothing. They should be trying to secure enough senate votes to override the Orange Shitgibbon’s veto.

Who will the admirals, generals, etc., obey? The Supreme leader? Or Congress?

I appreciate the thought Mr. Levin, I do. However, for it to mean anything it has to be legally binding and enforceable. It is neither. What are yall prepared to do to reign in the mad king and his drunken court of miscreants, cosplaying as a cabinet? How are you going to force it to stop?

The Republican controlled House is hell and gone from being the "Peoples" House. Doing one thing right and 50 things wrong is not representation of the people.

How is this going to change anything? Congress already had the power to declare war and the fat 🍊 💩 🤡 ignored it anyway and started a war in Iran.

Also, good job, and I hope...

Oh, boy! We won! Two years of chaotic and tragic governance, and today, an odd couple of Rapeublicans suddenly became "bipartisan," and solved all the nation's woes. Tomorrow will be a brand new day! Thank you, Reps. Thank you all so very much.

If the draft was reinstated, people would be.

hows that attempt to combine the IDF with the US Army Going?

Remarkable impotence.

What if Congress capitulates and votes to keep them there? Can you count on them?

So when is this going to be enforced?

Today Democrats said no - all 211 Democrats with bare minimal help from republicans. Only 4 of 212 republicans said no more trump illegal war. 98.2% of republicans said yes to more illegal war costing lives and $billions

Yet, nothing changed

praise at last!!

Good for the house just in time for mid terms. They do not Atta Boys for finslly doing their job.

I think Rubio said it was over. Trump is homies with Obama and this popped off so they could wrap up the Middle East once and for all and have all the oil (not opposed to cheap gas)

Two men if you count Bibi.

ABOUT FUCKING TIME!

It happened because enough people spoke out. It only takes a few minutes and it doesn't cost any money to speak out. We don't need money in politics. We just need people to participate. Please support Initiative No. 2 100% Democracy on my website: www.nationalfinancialplan.com

Bit by bit, piece by piece.... grab your country back from this mad man's clutches.

Performative nonsense. The senate if approves will do so only by a slim margin and Trump will veto. That way GOP can say “we tried so vote to send us back to grift more and inside trade more and take AIPAC money.”

And …

This is his “out”. Just say congress forced it, nothing he can do about it, it’s over, go home.

Heal the sick, ffs.

I think he has minions for that

Cute. Who's going to make him really stop it though?

Now who is responsible for stopping him when he ignores this?

Representative Mike Levin (D-CA) has received $346,867 in campaign contributions from pro-Israel lobby groups and affiliated donors. Data tracked from Federal Election Commission (FEC) filings outlines his financial relationship with these interest groups:

Clean your house, Mike : Bought by Zionism www.boughtbyzionism.org › mike_levin California Representative Mike Levin is disingenuous in his sympathy for Palestinians living in Gaza all while supplying Israel with the military capabilities

Do more of that

How many of your Republican colleagues honored their oath to country & Constitution, and not their allegiance to the mad king?

And yet…

Trump's impeachment when? Trump's invasions of Iran and Venezuela were illegal and unconstitutional. He should be impeached for that alone.

yeah they finally voted after the 60 days was already over but whatever great job i guess

They are still under his thumb and will rubber stamp whatever he wants. They actually believe their political lives are at stake if they don’t. Truth is, they will be done politically in Nov. if they continue being puppets & ignoring the will of the people!

So, what happens when Trump asks Congress for approval? A lot of AIPAC Democrats will be in a pickle.

Oh lordy... your commentary is all bullshit as usual... 🤣🤪🤣🤪

What took so long?

Day late and a dollar short.

And it took them four months and actual war crimes to make it happen Jesus wept, feckless fucking ‘representatives’ we have

Hopefully

If the US can be at war on the whim of one low intelligence man for four months, that same man having a veto over Congressional votes, the Constitution is worthless.

Agreed! Constantly expecting him to follow norms is a fools game.

Waaaayl … That’s gonna go absolutely nowhere. Maybe you could attach a law to release the Epstein Files. Or - here’s a good one - add in a law forbidding congress from giving the US Armed Forces to “israel”. Talk about distractions!

We lost another war. 🤦

This gives him an out. Now, he’ll blame Congress for the mess he put us in.

You CAN stop the war with a simple majority. The 2027 National Defense Authorization Act vote will show your true intentions. As written now, in Sec 224, it totally merges US and Israel military/industrial/surveillance complexes into one genocidal monster. Whose side are you on?

Too late. Trump's actions mean the USA is involved in a war. Trump decided it, senior military ignored illegality and went to war. Congress didn't stop it before it began. You can't just retrospectively declare it was illegal, there are dead bodies already. Dead children, dead civilians.

Sadly our representatives have failed us too!

So, a resolution for what is already the law?

They only stood up because voters are now a bigger threat to their seat on the "money train" than Donald Trump.

Look, I’m glad it passed, but the reason this is all so pointless is you’re literally passing legislation for laws that already exist. He CAN’T go to war without Congress’ approval. He never could. He did anyway. And now you pass legislation saying that he can’t. That’s sure to stop him this time.

Trump's war.......

You mean their IS an Article 1 branch after all? Who knew?!?

It’s about time! Shut it all down, no funding for Israel’s war against Iran, Gaza, Lebanon, no funding for weapons, no collaboration between US and Israeli militaries!

bsky.app/profile/boug...

But you won't enforce it so it's still meaningless. Stop the gaslighting.

Sort of. Our representatives. Many of them do not support we the people at all. They prefer to undo everything this country has done at home and abroad over the past 80 years.

It’s about damn time. What took so long?

He’s gonna veto it.

I’ll bet a dollar I know how they’ll vote.

Too bad it took republicans getting primary out for them to actually do their job and stop the convicted felon’s illegal war.

Phew - Trump finally has his out.

About time!

Something tells me they'll manage to find the exact number of Democrats they'll need to fall on the sword when it goes to the Senate.

Will it stop him from murdering Venezuelan fishermen or Ecuadorian dairy farmers or invading Cuba or Greenland?

will hegseth comply ? if not what will happen ?

Nonsense. No member of either house of Congress represents the voters. They all should dress like NASCAR drivers with patches showing their true sponsors. Politics is the strife of interests masquerading as a contest of principles; it is the conduct of public affairs for private advantage.

Do tell, how often has the stain bowed to congress’s wishes

The people ceased having representatives the moment these sycophants knelt to Trump … the only reason they are possibly protesting Trumps self declared war is their fear of being ousted and their self destructive loss of popularity …

Wow a “tsk tsk” from 4 republicans! That’s almost funny if we weren’t speaking of war and blowing up girls’ schools.

We’ll see if it passes the senate.

Thank you for doing something right for a change

Words don't matter until the troops are out and Israel stops invading Lebanon

Soooooooo when they commin home?????

Then they better not just do what the president commands.

Unfortunately Congress is so far up trump’s ass they’ll do whatever he says.

Great. Now enforce it.

Which Trump can veto

How'd you get a few republicans to accept backbone implants?

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

But will the Senate override that vote? Or if they don’t and it goes to lame brain, he’ll veto it!

Kind of ridiculous you had to pass a resolution to assert your control over something you were constitutionally put in control of. Makes me wonder if this "resolution" will hold any more water than the constitution did.

Until Senate does the same with a veto-proof majority, the House vote is symbolism.

The argument against is that it binds the President's hands. Yes it does, that's the difference between a republic and an absolute monarchy.

What took you so long?

THANK YOU. Some guy in Ireland posted that it was the end of the American Century because the House forced the US to "surrender." I politely explained that there's a difference between surrender and stopping a war that never should've started. The snowflake blocked me, but I am SO PROUD of you.

This is great. But what practical consequence does it have when the Executive Branch ignores even the Constitution??

I double dog dare Congress to try and keep us in Iran!!

No offense to your republican colleagues but where were those four votes before we lost soldiers and Iranian children were murdered? Unconscionable.

Yay! Getting on bluesky for back patting over the bare fucking minimum. Want a cookie too? Fuck. Four months. Americans are choosing gas over food and it took FOUR FUCKING MONTHS to do a performance of democracy.

He won't take any notice. Why should he? He is now effectively the King.

We have troops in Iran?

What will Congress do? I have no faith.

I am confusion. So, they voted to end the war that is already over? 🤷🏽‍♀️

Too little / too late

They are a little late to the party. Do they think he is just going to tell everyone to come home? And how do we face the families of the service people killed, and the service people who are badly injured? This is a horrible place to be in, thanks to their lack of guts.

The House continues to treat Republicans as normal politicians and not what they actually are. Stop normal social interactions with them.

CALL YOUR SENATORS! Time to stop this insanity.

I'll believe it when it happens

The current GOP Congress doesn't represent the people anymore. They just rubber stamp whatever lunatic idea Trump comes up with on a daily basis. It is the largest self-emasculation in history. The #GOP is complicit in the destruction of democracy and enables #TheGrifterPresident to loot taxpayers.
