"Instead of deliberately debating constitutional war powers, Democrats continue to play games at the expense of our veterans.

#HR550 #AUMF

Today, the House voted on #HR550. The full title of the bill is the Merchant Mariners of World War II Congressional Gold Medal Act. That might sound like a nice effort to honor WWII vets, but Democrats gutted the bill and added amendments with grave consequences.

In doing this, they stripped the @HouseGOP minority of its ability to debate and amend the bill. If enacted, these amendments would tie the President's hands when it comes to defending our homeland from #Iran and its proxies in times of conflict.

Needless to say, these measures would endanger Americans. And by putting them into a bill originally designed to honor WWII vets, Democrats have insulted the sacrifices they made to keep our country safe.
