No Invading Allies Act
Proud to see this coming from Rhode Island:
“A new bill introduced to the United States House of Representatives would withhold federal funding for any American “operations to invade or seize territory from” Canada, Panama or Greenland — unless Congress agrees to it first, that is.
“Introduced Thursday by Rhode Island Rep. Seth Magaziner, the No Invading Allies Act would require U.S. President Donald Trump to seek a formal declaration of war, congressional approval or proof of a “national emergency created by attack or imminent threat of attack” to authorize offensive military action against the places mentioned above.”
Of course, with the Trump Cult holding a (slim) majority in Congress and with Trump’s veto pen, this stands no chance of becoming law. But it does call attention to the possibility that a president who was impeached for trying to extort the president of Ukraine for political advantage and now does paid commercials at the White House could invade an ally if the price is right.
