Good for President Trump, and high time. Isreal decides what their capital is, not external politics.
Israel's claim to Jerusalem is highly suspect to put it mildly, so it is an international issue. That is why no other nation has taken this step or recognized Jerusalem as the capital.
How ridiculous this effort to suggest the elections were somehow a direct result of approval related to our foreign policy specifically with respect to anything having to do with the Israeli/Palestinian conflict.
I never said the reelection rates were based on that bill. You're the second person to level that false claim as strawman.
I said the vote on the 1995 Jerusalem Embassy Act, like the vote on every other bill in the House and Senate, reflected the will of the people/states. And if it did not, you sure wouldn't know it from the reelection rates over the next three cycles where the people could have directly and meaningfully lodged their disapproval.
That public law was passed with 92% majorities. It has never been repealed, abolished or superseded. Thus, it remains the will of the people/states. Trump following through wit the policies contained therein is simply abiding by that will as expressed in that duly passed and archived public law.
Again, if the American people really disapprove, they will be able to express that disapproval in the most meaningful terms next November, or even earlier in the House and Senate primaries.
Bannon vs Romney. Meanwhile President Dunce just does another stupid thing without getting anything back for it. You think, no, he can't be this dumb, and yet he is.
Hmmmm.... or maybe because Congress said he must do so.
WASHINGTON — The US Senate unanimously passed a resolution on Monday that commemorates the 50th anniversary of the reunification of Jerusalem.
Co-sponsored by 17 senators, including Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R) and Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D), the text calls on the legislative body to recognize the half a century landmark since Israel captured the eastern part of the city during the 1967 Six Day War.
“Jerusalem should remain the undivided capital of Israel in which the rights of every ethnic and religious group are protected,” the resolution states, adding that “there has been a continuous Jewish presence in Jerusalem for 3 millennia.”
