Speaker Johnson: It’s Ridiculous to Assert that Trump Should Ask Congress to Launch a War
‘We call [Dems] on that hypocrisy’
EXCERPT:
JOHNSON: "It is ridiculous for anyone to assert that the commander-in-chief, using his Article 2 power under the Constitution, should have to consult all the members of Congress or even all the leadership in Congress every time he has to make a decisive, quick action. I mean, that would not be feasible. So the idea that they are saying that what he has done is somehow inappropriate or unconstitutional is nonsense. None of them ever complained when Barack Obama and Joe Biden used the same authority to drop bombs all over the Middle East, all over the world. You know, it’s entirely inconsistent with their previous actions and I think we call them on that hypocrisy."
