Ready for WAR, time for congress to decide.

 TRUMP SHOULD DEMAND CONGRESS DECIDES

MAKE THEM VOTE



It seems the U.S. is now positioned to go to war with Iran. President Trump has indicated that it his decision, but constitutionally it is not, it is solely a decision to be made by congress. This should require several days of debate, with testimony from witnesses, They can even bring in some foreigners, like Netanyahu to make the case.

War needs a simple majority in both the House and Senate, but I would demand a 60% vote in the Senate, I think if 60% is required to pass spending bills, it should be required to engage in the biggest war since WW2. 

Trump should defer from making a recommendation, He should let the congress decide. Those advocating for war can be led by blood lusting psychopath Lindsey Graham, I am sure he would just love that job. 

Advocates and those opposed should have several days to call witness's to give their input, then a vote in the House and if passed then send it to the Senate to have a similar debate. That is the correct way to force the nation into a pivotal war that may have lasting consequences for all the citizens. It is their responsibility and it is high time they start to taking that responsibility, that they all seem to want when they decide to be representatives and senators. 

If it it approved, then it should be left to President to decide when such action should be taken or he could  veto their decision, it would then require a 2/3 vote to override, that is the right way to do this.
