Donald Trump is losing it after Republicans in the Senate seem to have turned against him on a vote about a War Powers Resolution Act preventing Donald Trump from further action in Venezuela without congressional approval. This War Powers vote leads to another vote that needs to take place, but it was a 52 to 47 vote, a bipartisan vote. Here's what Donald Trump posted. Republicans should be ashamed of the senators that just voted with Democrats in attempting to take away our powers to fight and defend the United States of America. Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Rand Paul, Josh Hawley and Todd Young should never be elected to office again. This vote greatly hampers American self-defense and national security, impeding the president's authority as commander in chief.
in any event. And despite their stupidity, the War Powers Act is unconstitutional, totally violating Article 2 of the Constitution, as all presidents and their Department of Justice have determined before me. Nevertheless, a more important Senate vote will be taking place next week on this very subject. And then thereafter, Donald Trump sent his architect, his new architect for the White House East Wing, to talk about demolishing the West Wing or rebuilding the West Wing now. And the Those are what their priorities there. And I guess also oil companies subsidizing, being subsidized by the taxpayers to the tune of like $100 billion or something like that. Let's bring in Senator Adam Schiff of California.
Senator Schiff, you were the principal co-sponsor of Tim Kaine's resolution here in this bill, this War Powers Act resolution. um explain to us you know why it's so important especially that it was passed in a bipartisan basis and if you can respond to trump they're like losing it and saying that this is unconst the war powers is unconstitutional and that he has unfettered ability under article two do i guess invade everybody what do you make of it all

It was claimed by the administration that this was just about stopping drugs from coming to this country, stopping fentanyl from coming here, even though fentanyl is not a drug transported by Venezuela, by both the United States. It comes predominantly from Mexico with precursors made in China. But nevertheless, this was supposedly about drugs. I introduced the first War Powers Resolution to put a stop to that. It got bipartisan support, but not enough. This is now the third resolution Tim Kaine introduced. I was principal co-sponsor on to put an end to further military involvement in Venezuela because it's clear now
This claim that this was about narcotics was a ruse. This is about oil. This is about oil. This is about seizing the oil reserves of a country that has some of the largest, if not the largest oil reserve in the world. And now the president is saying we could be there for years running that country. And I think, frankly, what the president has been saying is largely responsible for why Republican support for our resolution has grown. Because Republicans are deeply concerned that we're going to get bogged down in another endless war about oil. And that is not what we want to see happen. It's not what the American people want to see happen. And for the president now to respond this way, basically threatening Republican members who supported this with.
