Do your job: Check & Stop Dictator Trump's dangerous war spree now

To: Rep. Golden, Sen. Collins, Sen. King

From: A verified voter in Lewiston, ME

March 1

Take the car keys away from the toddler. How many preventable deaths, war crimes, and violations of international law and the US constitution will you permit? The strikes against Iran are illegal according to US law and the UN. Over a hundred school children have already been killed. There is no plan for the next steps. Moreover, Trump is clearly cognitively impaired; he can hardly speak at the level of an under-ten year old child. He should not be in charge of any decisions more complex than what to eat for dinner. Get back to DC and do oversight. Pass the house and senator versions of the bills to rein in the rogue potus -- Kaine's, and the Massie-Khanna one. It's past time for Congress to reassert its proper powers. Stop the slide into dictatorship. Take the car keys away from the toddler. In 1973, a veto-proof majority of Congress took the position that POTUS's constitutional powers to use military force are limited to: 1) declaration of war 2) specific statutory authorization 3) national emergency triggered by attack on U.S., its territories or possessions, or armed forces.
