In 2011, the House voted *against* authorizing a US role in the war in Libya but Obama defied it & did it anyway bbc.com/news/world-us-… - if Trump vetoes this bill barring US involvement in the war in Yemen, it's a great opportunity to reimpose war-making powers on the President
The US-supported war in Yemen is one of the worst atrocities in the last two decades. It's a huge stain on Obama & Trump's legacy. The bill passed today by the House to end US involvement in the war in Yemen is of historic importance: both for war powers & humanitarianism.
I mean: "a great opportunity to reimpose *limits* on the war-making powers of the President." See here: washingtonpost.com/posteverything…
