The Senate backed legislation Thursday to limit President Donald Trump’s ability to wage war against Iran, rebuking him after a strike against an Iranian military commander and Tehran’s retaliation last month raised fears of broader regional conflict.

Eight of Trump’s fellow Republicans joined Democrats to pass the war powers resolution by 55-45. The measure would require Trump to remove U.S. troops engaged in hostilities against Iran unless Congress declares war or passes a specific authorization for the use of military force.

Now that Kim of North Korea has stepped across the DMZ to embrace Moon, the peacenik, the last remaining country that has no links to the Rothschild banking system is Iran. So who do you think is pulling Trump's strings? ;)

In case of war, declared or otherwise, all members of Congress should be given a uniform, a rifle and be on first aircraft to the front.

As a governing group, they are worthless professional politicians, scum.
