THIS is why I am not feeling very secure about ANYTHING. The madman has now decided he makes the rules, ALL of them. Congress is just a group of tioadies and bad guys, they have no real power.

The Rule of Law cannot restrain a madman

He needs to be removed from office under the 25th Amendment and locked up in a psychiatric ward.

He is drunk on his own power, completely mad, and without a clue on how a democracy is supposed to function.

he doesn't want a democracy.

FTFY

Is he afraid to do it the proper way or is it just not something he understands?

Making it public this particular way seems to be potentially the part of a plan here and he seems to be making that rather obvious.

The only reason I can ever give him for acting on anything is that it pertains to him and him alone and that includes how much power he can grab by whatever means possible and keeping his base occupied as well. Of course, a war is handy in this case as both a distraction and a means to utilize war powers...on us.

NO-ONE will pull back on the leash!

The man is simple minded.

Presidential notifications pursuant to War Powers Act have to be submitted in writing to the Speaker of the House and to the President Pro Tempore of the Senate. The notification doesn't have to be published in the federal register or anywhere else for that matter.

However, the notification does have to include information that the trump tweet clearly lacks:
The President shall submit within 48 hours to the Speaker of the House of Representatives and to the President pro tempore of the Senate a report, in writing, setting forth—
(A) the circumstances necessitating the introduction of United States Armed Forces;
(B) the constitutional and legislative authority under which such introduction took place; and
(C) the estimated scope and duration of the hostilities or involvement.

The problem, I think, is that this is a "trial balloon" wherein he shows his intent to completely bypass our Congress with impunity. He intends to do much more, IMO, and my guess is, he thinks this is his moment.

YOU ARE IMPEACHED, DONALD. NOTHING YOU DO WILL CHANGE THIS FACT. WE CAN AND WILL CHANGE POTUS IN THE MIDDLE OF YOUR DAMNED WAR.

Thanks

There has to be a legal definition of Public Notice. And it does not involve posting to a private social media account.

in certain rulemaking or lawmaking proceeding. It is a requirement in most jurisdictions, in order to allow members of the public to make their opinions on proposals known before a rule or law is made.

Thanks.

They've worked for all these years via 'civility' and other such old fashioned things.

Vis a vis a Potus and a Congress, methods have surely developed, and he's telling THEM to 'f' off.

edit: As you've noted elsewhere, there ARE requirements, maybe not Federal Register 'public,' but MUST actually INFORM CONGRESS.

fat stupid nazi bastard.

LOUD and CLEAR.

Brushing aside the Media, Congress and the Courts as it fn suits him.

He is using these as christofascist edicts. His paying audience and his mouthbreather lackeys feed his pathology. They get told what is happening.

Jack Dorsey OK with that?

Unilateral contract. War and peace.

20 republican senators growing a spine. That's what has to happen, and it has to happen within immediately.

This is basically what he just said............

of constitutional law. From a semi-illiterate impeached president to boot.

This Media Post will serve as a reminder that war powers reside in the Congress under the United States Constitution. And that you should read the War Powers Act. And that you’re not a dictator

...thinking that it seemed a rather inane way to communicate, and that the first 4 letters, "twit" rather said it all.

The 1st meaning in Dictionary.com - verb: to taunt, tease or ridicule. 3rd meaning - noun: an insignificant, silly or bothersome person

When it comes to Trump, a twit is indeed tweeting.

What a ridiculously inappropriate way to conduct governmental business.

Woohoo, just hit 20,000 posts!

...such a milestone.

....If this is real, then he has impeached himself...............

...............Tweets are NOT LEGAL NOTICES TO CONGRESS.

............... IF this is real...then he had admitted to all that he needs to be removed. Basically admitted that he is not to be trusted and has stepped over the Constitution of the United States. Even the other side will admit that this is illegal and goes beyond the Constitution that he swore to uphold and protect..

...........If this is real, Trump has impeached himself..!!!!! With this stupid tweet..If it is real???


............My guess is that every single legal expert in the United States of America will agree that this is
totally illegal and goes against the Constitution of the United States of America...........

And we're ALL in danger! My 10 year old nephew told me that he's afraid of being bombed.

Moscow Mitch, it's time to do your f*****g job!

It seems this should end that case outright.
