Op-ed argues that Congress should amend the War Powers Act
The saber rattling currently taking place between the White House and North Korea makes clear that it's time for Congress to close a dangerous loophole, write two op-ed writers in the New York Times.
Dear,
You can only speak for yourself, not the rest of the USA.
You guys lost. Time to move on.
I said most of us "liberals" - I'm not sure if your misrepresentation was deliberate or just a lazy reading, but I wasn't attempting to speak for the rest of the USA.
Even so, you're right -- I can't say I speak for all or most liberals, but my perception is that the opinion I expressed is how most of us feel. Sure maybe I'm wrong, but I'm speaking to what I'm observing. To my perception.

Cersei vs. the Mad King, what a choice eh? Though I don't find the idea of a Hillary presidency nearly as sinister as the rest of you make it out to be.
Funny how this "one person shouldn't be able to launch a nuclear strike on his own" only comes up with Republican Presidents. Every single one going back to Eisenhower.

I've only voted for Democrats so far, but I like to think I would've voted for Eisenhower had that election occurred in my lifetime. One of my favorite Presidents...

Indeed.
The only President to drop an atomic bomb on people was a Democrat too.
The Interstate Highway system under his administration was one of the best examples of smart government spending we've ever seen. I didn't vote for McCain/Romney/Trump, but I love Ike. Given the 1952 electoral college map, it wouldn't be a surprise for someone of my upbringing and background to have gone that way back then. It's an obviously impossible hypothetical, but I at least love the historical Eisenhower.
His warning against the rise of the military industrial complex was also awfully prescient.
But yeah, carry on being a wise ass. You folks are good at that.
Edit: I gotta say I find you Trump supporters' responses hysterical. Everything amounts to
"Hillary lost, get over it."
"Too bad, go away."
"Shutup, go away"
"Nobody cares what you think."
"Yeah, right."
You're like an army of 6 year-olds

Since I didn't vote for Trump I guess you didn't mean to direct your above screed at me. You forgot to call me any one, or all, of the following:
Mouth breathing
Toothless
Meth using
Trailer park dwelling
Sister ****ing
Inbred
Whatever you've heard on the media, he can't. This from an officer on a nuclear submarine, who was part of the "launch" process.
Yes, the president can. I heard a piece about it on NPR a few weeks ago & let me tell you, I was shocked. I really thought it had to be a joint effort. I don't think any president, just one person, should have that authority.

Truman, a Democrat, and the only President to have ever used atomic weapons, set the precedent.
