Trump's War Powers: Because Who Needs Congress When You've Got Twitter?
By Vixen Vile, Published 5 hours ago
Oh, what a delightful dance of democracy we're witnessing! Twelve housebroken House Democrats have just grown a collective spine, demanding that Congress should maybe, just possibly, get a say before our fearless leader decides to play Call of Duty with real life consequences. But let's not get too excited; this is just a letter, not a law. It's like sending Trump a sternly worded tweet, except with less character limit.
The audacity! After Trump's little 'oopsie' with Iran, where he launched bombs as casually as tweeting at 3 a.m., our noble Democrats have decided to remember they have the power to declare war. It's almost as if they've been in a political slumber, only waking up when the bombs start falling. But worry not, their letter is so fierce, it could almost make you believe in the separation of powers again.
And let's not forget, this is all about limiting military authority. Because, you know, it's not like there's a history of presidents using military might to bypass pesky little things like checks and balances. This letter is the political equivalent of putting a 'Please Don't' sign on a button that says 'Do Not Press'. Here's hoping Trump respects their strongly-worded memo as much as he respects his dietician's advice.
