They're afraid it will offend Trump if it passes. That's why.

You're just trolling now.

Basically the US can bomb a country and certain foolish high level congressmen can just say that isn't an act of war so northrup and raytheon can sell a few more bombs.

Sickening.

Not so fast - the congressmen who stopped the bill prefer a king to a president limited in his power to wage war. That is essentially what we have now - a king - and the congress has no check on him. And it makes no difference if we get to choose a new king every four years, he's still a king.

I agree on the king. Whether you're talking about the president and his power OR central govt in general we live in a "kingdom" where the select few tell the rest how they will live their lives.

But I don't think "being afraid of trump" was the reason the resolution didn't get a vote.

Afraid may not be the right word -- those congressmen did what they did because they want to set up a king (Trump) rather than accept their duty to declare war. They did it because they are afraid to take the blame for their actions (because their actions are wrong).

I think you make a strong point and trump would be happy to be in such a position I'm afraid.
