NEW: 8 senators are going to introduce a bill to "prevent any president from leaving NATO" this afternoon. This bill, from 4 Dems and 4 Republicans, come amid fears Trump could legally unilaterally withdraw from NATO without any Congressional input
The bill mirrors a bill introduced last Congress that was never voted on. Congressional sources say sponsors of this new bill are: Kaine (D-VA), Gardner (R-CO), Reed (D-RI), Graham, (R-SC), Coons (D-DE), Rubio (R-FL), Blumenthal (D-CT), and Collins (R-ME)
I wrote about this recently. A NATO withdrawal (still seen as v. unlikely) yet another case of people assuming there are legal guardrails on executive power, then finding out in Trump era they're not. Here's my story: foreignpolicy.com/2019/01/16/tru…
Bill in full text is here: "Opposition of Congress to Suspension, Termination, or Withdrawal from North Atlantic Treaty"
(The very fact that there is a bill about this is unprecedented)
