Corey Booker (who likes to style himself as Spartacus) is running his mouth again. And ABC\u2019s \u2018This Week\u201d on Sunday, he rattled on about how Trump as President can\u2019t just send troops to the Middle East without coming to Congress. He references something he calls \u2018the 2001\u2019, which is unclear as always with him. Yap, yap, yap, yap.<\/p>\n
I believe he\u2019s referring to the War Powers Act update in 2001.<\/p>\n
Here’s the text of it:\u00a0 2001<\/strong>: In the wake of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, Congress passed\u00a0Public Law 107-40<\/a>\u00a0(PDF), authorizing President George W. Bush to “use all necessary and appropriate force against those nations, organizations, or persons he determines planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, or harbored such organizations or persons, in order to prevent any future acts of international terrorism against the United States by such nations, organizations or persons.” For the first time, “organizations and persons” are specified in a Congressional authorization to use force pursuant to the War Powers Resolution, rather than just nations.<\/p>\n 2002<\/strong>: Congress authorized President George W. Bush to use force against Iraq, pursuant to the War Powers Resolution, in\u00a0Public Law 107-243<\/a>\u00a0(PDF).<\/p>\n Note that there are no end dates included those texts.<\/p>\n Updates and revisions are listed in chronological order at this link:\u00a0 https:\/\/www.loc.gov\/law\/help\/war-powers.php<\/a><\/p>\n He seems to not understand that it does allow the sitting President to send troops to specific destinations, when necessary. If that were not so, then how did Obama get away with it?<\/p>\n His lack of understanding includes a rather wide range of subjects, including his referring to himself as “Spartacus”, a Thracian who was at least an honorable man. He isn’t Spartacus, nor is he even close to that status, but he is a social moron and frequently a buffoon.<\/p>\n It is easy to find him to be a source of amusement, but while we\u2019re laughing and pointing at his constant stream of gaffes, we also have to remember that he somehow got elected to an important role and is making a shambles of it.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s the Breitbart link:<\/p>\n
