Listening to the Senate debate on the War Powers vote in the background while doing some routine work. This is, of course, a mistake. But hearing Republicans argue that the Constitution gives the power of war to the President (it doesn't) and talk about the need to bring down religious fanatics while supporting protesters is ... something. Still trying to figure out if they genuinely don't see the hypocrisy? Or think we are too stupid to see it? So confusing.

@testobsessed The ... same Republicans using this law in the past.

But what are the odds that both houses have 2/3 votes to override the veto?

@ascherbaum Zero. The vote on the motion to even have the debate in the Senate is happening right now and the unofficial tally shows 48-52. That's extremely unlikely to change before they close the vote, so the war powers resolution stays stuck in committee. And that means there won't be a veto to override...we're not even going to get that far. I'm gutted. I'd hoped that the America-first Republicans would break ranks. But no.
