1. La Autoridad Constitucional Exclusiva del Congreso para Declarar la Guerra.
El tema dominante en las discusiones es la clara asignación de la facultad de declarar la guerra al Congreso, según el Artículo I de la Constitución, contrastando con la percepción de que el Presidente está actuando sin esta aprobación.
- The constitution gives congress, not the president, the power to declare war. Trump has ignored that, declared his own armed conflict, and started killing people in international waters with zero oversight. Warcriminal.
- Article i, section 8, clause 11 the congress shall have power . To declare war, not the president.
- Only the u.s. Congress has the power to declare war. Only the u.s. Congress has the power to declare war. Only the u.s. Congress has the power to declare war. Only the u.s. Congress has the power to declare war. Only.
- Us constitution the congress shall have power . To declare war. Nothing about the president having any such power.
2. Críticas a la Extralimitación del Poder Ejecutivo y Crímenes de Guerra.
Se acusa al presidente de ignorar los límites constitucionales, actuando como "juez, jurado y verdugo", y de cometer actos que son calificados como crímenes de guerra o asesinatos en aguas internacionales sin justificación legal.
- The constitution grants congress, not the president, the power to declare war. The president is not only circumventing the legislative branch, but grossly expanding his power to act as judge, jury, and executioner.
- The international criminal court will be wanting to see everyone involved in these war crimes. Where is congress in all this!! the congress has the power to wells the us military not the president. Who gave trump permission to use us military?? this is in direct opposition to the us constitution.
- An illegal order the military should ignore. No war has been declared by congress. The president does not have the power to start a war without congress.
- If the power to declare war is exclusive to congress, then war-making by the president absent congressional declaration is not an official actthe constitution does not grant his office that power. A president is criminally liable for unofficial acts.
3. La Inacción y la Cesión de Poder por Parte del Congreso.
Existe una frustración palpable con el Congreso (especialmente con los miembros del GOP) por supuestamente "abdicar" o "ceder" su poder constitucional al ejecutivo, permitiendo que las acciones militares continúen sin control.
- Apparently, congress has given up its responsibility with regard to war declaration, so it is in fact within the power of the presidency carry out whatever military actions he wants to do.
- Why is congress relinquishing its power? only congress can declare war. You all have the power to stop this madness.
- If only gop members of congress remembered that the constitution gives only congress the power to declare war.
- Congress needs to get off their asses and reassert their constitutional power regarding declarations of war. While theyre at it, time to also invoke the 25th amendment.
4. Referencias a la Ley de Poderes de Guerra y Precedentes Históricos.
Se menciona la Ley de Poderes de Guerra de 1973 como un intento de control, aunque algunos señalan que el presidente puede operar bajo otras justificaciones o que el Congreso ha permitido que su poder se erosione con el tiempo.
- The war powers resolution is a federal law intended to check the presidents power to commit the usa to an armed conflict without the consent of the u.s. Congress. The resolution was adopted in the form of a united states congressional joint resolution. Even the sc will not overrule this.
- That aint how your anti-monarchy, anti-absolute power constitution you love to brag about works, tough guy. Oh, and then theres the war powers resolution of 1973 the president in every possible instance shall consult with congress before introducing united states armed forces into hostilities.
- The gulf of tonkin resolution handed power to start a war to lbj. The vietnam war he escalated from black ops to full-fledged war was initially called a police action.
5. El Motivo de la Escalada: Poder y Elecciones.
Se especula que la motivación detrás de la acción militar unilateral es la búsqueda de poder presidencial, posiblemente para influir o cancelar las próximas elecciones.
- He needs a war so he can cancel the next presidential election and keep his tiny hands on power, without which he might be held legally accountable for his unconstitutional and treasonous actions.
- There is only one reason trump wants to get into a war with another country right now and that is so he can assume more presidential power for himself as a wartime president.
