Useless. Time for the Social Democrats to form their own party.

      I’m confused as to what’s different about this situation? Why is this an impeachable offense, but Biden bombing Yemen wasn’t? Or Trump 1.0 bombing Syria? Or Obama bombing and drone striking all sorts of places that weren’t Iraq or Afghanistan?

      Nobody tried to impeach a president before for taking unilateral non-Congressional-approved military actions, so I’m not clear on what makes this different?

        My understanding is that for the US to go to war, it needs to be passed in Congress. Trump bombing Iran last week was not passed through Congress and is an act that can get him impeached, is also my understanding.

        As for the previous events, my assumption was that it was passed by Congress. But if not, then… That’s a failure of your own system and I can’t really say anything other than that.
