This doesn't quite fit within !politics@lemmy.world' rules for "articles only", and I haven't seen an article published about it yet.

  • Article I: Waging War in Contravention of the War Powers Resolution of 1973 Section 2(c)
  • Article II: Waging War in Contravention of the War Powers Resolution of 1973 Section 5(c)
  • Article III: Waging War in Contravention of the War Powers Resolution of 1973 Section 5(b)
  • Article IV: Ignoring Laws that Minimize Civilian Casualties
  • Article V: Extrajudicial Killings
  • Article VI: Suppressing Free Speech
  • Article VII: Kidnapping of a Sovereign Foreign Leader
  • Article VIII: Unlawful War in Yemen

War Powers Resolution, approved November 7, 1973, can be found here.

Funny, I wonder why the johnson adjourned congress and didn't let this go through? Well now that the johnson has stepped down, I'm sure this will move forward with alacrity.

Had this been filed before the election, the hindsight reporting would be entirely different. And the Republicans might have done slightly better.
