In contrast to letters that praise Joe Biden as an honest president, I surely differ.
One recent example that shows presidential failure would be Biden's latest strike against the Houthis in Yemen.
Apparently, the President violated Article I of the Constitution which requires military action to be authorized by Congress. Biden merely notified Congress about the strike but failed to request Congressional approval.
This U.S. involvement in another middle east conflict was furiously criticized by a group of progressive Democratic lawmakers and others.
Posted by editors of Politico, Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.), who chairs the Progressive Caucus, wrote "This is an unacceptable violation of the Constitution." California Rep. Ro Khanna said, "The President needs to come to Congress before launching a strike against the Houthis in Yemen and involving us in another middle east conflict." Rep. Mark Pocan (D-Wisc.) also demanded the White House work with Congress before continuing the strikes. Rep. Chip Roy (R-Ky.) said that he was open to striking Yemen, but questioned why the decision had not been made by Congress.
Many Americans today have lost faith in this administration's ability in running the country. However, if Congress is not involved in major global decisions, one has to ask, "who is running our country?"
