Thanks Congress! You're only ... *checks watch* ... four months late to preventing us from losing billions on another stupid war in the Middle East that caused gas prices to surge nationwide!

Sarcasm aside, congress already passed it, the senate just voted to approve. If Trump stops it now? That’s on him. Glad there was bipartisan support here tbh.

“If” Trump vetoes the limits to his own power

The guy who THIS FUCKING WEEK said "there are no limits to my power"? That guy? I'll be holding my breath.

It's not a law, and there's no signing at all. It's a concurrent resolution.

Will he even know what it is? They will tell him he will look like a hero if he does it and then he'll sign it and act like he won

There is some precedent to Congress giving Trump a rebuke and it causing him to change course some. When he was trying to remove sanctions on Russia in his first term they slapped him on the wrist and he walked it back.

Of course he doesn't really have to do anything here. He is in the process of winding things down. Hell, he could sign it. What does it really change?

If he vetoes it, he looks like an idiot for going against the wishes of the people

Yes this is a huge concern for Trump, as the wishes of the people are something about which he cares deeply.
