[QUOTE="wing2000, post: 73475968, member: 314005"] ....it was a day of unprecedented rebukes to a President's foreign policy. The first resolution was passed by the entire US Senate: "Thursday, it unanimously approved a resolution that assigns responsibility to the crown prince for the killing and says the regime’s “misleading statements” about the case “have undermined trust and confidence” in Saudi-U.S. relations. " ....followed by a resolution to halt support: "...56-to-41 vote in favor of another resolution [URL='https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/13/us/politics/yemen-saudi-war-pompeo-mattis.html']ending U.S. support[/URL] for the Saudi war in Yemen under the War Powers Act." ...and noting, the US Senate finally stepped up to its war power responsibilities. I await the vote on Afghanistan and the dozens of other countries where US forces have been deployed by the executive branch for the past several decades...
