I mean it's NICE for the Senate to give their "blessing", but with the laws that Congress itself passed handing over a ton of their responsibilities to the Executive Branch...no President has needed Congress to send troops in anywhere in decades.

It's way too late to do anything about the tensions in Iran. BUT...the House and Senate should immediately repeal the laws that they passed giving this power to the Executive Branch.

We basically have the House and Senate full of lifetime power-hungry bureaucrats who don't want to do ANYTHING. Instead of looking at decisions based on what's good for the country, they are too busy weighing each vote to determine if it's good for their careers.
