GAETZ VOTES FOR WAR POWERS RESOLUTION

Congressman Matt Gaetz and several other Republicans have joined Democrats in voting for a resolution meant to limit the president’s powers to use military force. The War Powers Resolution was put forward by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, but it does not carry the force of law because it is not subject to presidential signature or veto. The resolution passed in a 224-194 vote Thursday evening, with only three Republicans supporting it, including Gaetz. He said killing General Soleimani (“Sol-A-Manie”) was the right decision, but engaging in another forever war in the Middle East would be the wrong decision.
