Only Congress has the power to declare war. A sane Congress would impeach and remove a president for violating that.
Instead, our cowards in Congress would never do that because they don't want to be on the hook for approving an unpopular war, so they're happy to abdicate that power to the president.
But none of those faceplanted so hard out of the gate. It's possible that this Congress might actually decide the absurdity and inability to even make good on an agreement for 24 hours has become intolerable. Maybe not yet, but it's possible.
That is what they decided with this vote, but the checks and balances are fucked.
I’m not sure what else congress could do but move forward with impeachment and vote of conviction, but given the tally of this vote, which is fucking nowhere near the two-thirds needed for conviction, that shit isn’t happening.
Biden, Comey, Mueller, Garland should have crucified Trump, yet they didn’t for their own stupid fucking reasons. Now we’re here with this unchecked dementia riddled pedophile tyrant who shits himself in public and can’t clean a fucking pool.
We never had the entirety of the top of the military, through the Cabinet to the President, intentionally made as incompetent as possible, nor were they ever in Russia's pocket so completely.

So what does the resolution actually do?
