McCain Upset there was No war in Syria due to Obama wanting Congressional Approval, Introduced a Bill to Allow a President to Declare War without Congress Approval


McCain taking going to War in Syria seriously, by playing Poker, during the discussions.  Yeah just the person we need to listen to......
A WAR MONGER! 


McCain is such a traitor to the U.S. Constitution and the American People.  He Loves War!  He is upset that the U.S. didn't bomb Syria and most likely lose U.S. troops.  You really have to wonder how much he is paid off by the War complex of companies.

He has now introduced a bill that allows the President to declare War at Will without Congressional Approval.  He calls for a 'Congressional Discussion', but no approval needed.  In other words giving the President a Dictatorship.

From McCain's own website,  his introduction of the bill on the Senate Floor.

Portions:

“Mr. President: I am pleased to join my colleague, the junior Senator from Virginia, as we introduce today the War Powers Consultation Act of 2014.

“More recently, we saw the opposite problem manifested with regard to Syria. Perhaps due to the backlash in Congress that the Administration’s handling of the Libya conflict engendered, President Obama decided to seek congressional authorization for limited airstrikes against the Assad regime after it slaughtered more than 1,400 of its own citizens with chemical weapons last August. An operation that likely would have lasted a few days, and thus been fully consistent with the President’s authority under the existing War Powers Resolution had he decided to act decisively and take limited military action, instead devolved into a stinging legislative repudiation of executive action. The tragic result was that the Assad regime was spared any meaningful consequences for its use of a weapon of mass destruction against innocent men, women, and children – and like Libya, the forces that want to turn America away from the world were not checked but empowered.
“Now, some may see the problem in these two instances as a failure of presidential leadership, and I would agree. But I also believe that the examples of Libya and Syria represent the broader problem we as a nation face: What is the proper war power authority of the executive and legislative branches when it comes to limited conflicts, which are increasingly the kinds of conflicts with which we are faced?
“It is essential for the Congress and the President to work together to define a new war powers consultative arrangement that both reflects the nature of conflict in the 21st century and is in line with our Constitution. Our nation does not have 535 Commanders-in-Chief. We have one – the President – and that role, as established by our Constitution, must be respected. Our nation is poorly served when Members of Congress try to micromanage the Commander-in-Chief in matters of war.

A new War Powers Resolution, one that is recognized as both constitutional and workable in practice, can be an important contribution to this effort. It can more effectively invest the Congress in the critical decisions that impact our national security. It can help build a more durable consensus in favor of the kinds of policies we need to sustain our global leadership and protect our nation. In short, the legislation we are introducing today can restore a better balance to the way national security decision-making should work in a great democracy such as ours.

  1. It would take a Constitutional amendment to allow the president to declare war without Congressional approval.
    A "Bill" won't cut it. McCain should be impeached for violating his oath to defend the Constitution.

  2. I wonder what his "real" surname is? Doesn't look like Ariel Sharon or Henry Kissenger one bit, does he?

    Kosher Nostra for sure.

  4. I've said this a thousand time McCain is not fit to be in office. He suffered some kind of breakdown by his Vietcong handlers. He broke down BIG TIME! Now he is docile and susceptible to even the slightest threats that his behavior is easily controlled and handled.

    Just giving a stare down may make him sign his will away. He needs to be removed and put in the kitchen with a nice pink apron with flower designs.
