If I were (was) a Conspiracy Theorist...?

[kentuck]

What would happen if...?

Pelosi and the Democrats pass the War Powers Resolution, giving more power to the Congress in event of war, and it goes to the Senate.

Rand Paul and Mike Lee seem to be supportive of it. Mike Lee said he would vote for it.

What happens if it passes the Senate, also? Then it goes to Donald Trump for his veto.

What happens when Donald Trump vetoes the Resolution, in effect, telling the Congress (and the People) that he has more power than they?

Would that be a true constitutional crisis?

[Dennis Donovan]

1. It would go back for the Senate for a 2/3 override

The question is, what R senators will continue to stick with a dictator and ensure their own irrelevance?

[kentuck]

2. Exactly!

And what would be the odds that 67 would vote to over-ride his veto?

Highly unlikely?

[Dennis Donovan]

8. Yep. They don't care about their relevancy, they only care about keeping their seats

...and they will keep them as long as the stupid motherfucking MAGAt continue to NOT crack a goddamned newspaper.

16. Susan Collins would be "deeply concerned", but she'd fall in line.

[Bettie]

7. Of course the R's would

all stick with the dictator. They would be out in front of every camera they could find, declaring that the founders meant for this to be a dictatorship and anyone saying otherwise is a commie.

[kentuck]

9. In direct contradiction to the Constitution?

...that they swore to protect and defend, against all enemies foreign and domestic?

[Bettie]

12. Yes. At this point

none of the Senate Republicans have shown even a passing concern for any part of the constitution except the second amendment.

[Sherman A1]

3. What if

the sun comes up in the West tomorrow?

Lots of "what if's" there....................

[kentuck]

4. That what conspiracy theorists do.

"A lot of what ifs"

[rainy]

5. Would Mitch even allow it to the floor for a vote?

Doubt it!

[kentuck]

6. There may be some requirement?

I don't know.

[dewsgirl]

10. My question is, what happens when they pass it and

he ignores it anyway?

[kentuck]

11. I guess there is such a thing as a "pocket veto"...

if nothing is done in ten days?

[dewsgirl]

13. I believe he used it, on one of the sanctions packages

that was supposed to be veto proof.

[Midnight Writer]

14. I am a Conspiracy Theorist, and this scenario is exactly what I expect, if McConnell allows a vote.

Doubt there will be votes to override a Trump veto.

15. Listening to Nancy this morning she said he does not sign.

Not sure of all the particulars, but that is what she said.
