"Yesterday, in a meaningless vote, the House voted, 4 bad Republicans and all of the Dumocrats, to limit my War Powers, right in the middle of my final negotiations to end the War with the Islamic Republic of Iran," he wrote. "Who would do such an unpatriotic thing."

Right in the middle of his final negotiations, hear hear. I think that deal is materializing in his imagination only. It's about time he's put on a short leash by Congress!

The only real change comes by erosion of those in power.

It is here already. Welcome to your lame duck, era, Mr. President.

Congress has the power to override a veto. Read Article I, Section 7 of the US Constitution.

Trump as usual throwing tantrums. Whatever damage his war is doing to the USA, half the world (those without big oil reserves) are suffering twice as much. Countries like the Philippines, which only has 3 weeks supply left before everything shuts down.

Ya mean the people who build killing machines and weapons of mass destruction? Arms dealer and private prisons are the only growth industries in the "private sector".

There are approx 5.6million Americans who cannot vote

read the "save act" there are Americans who do not have passports nor access to birth cert to id to be able to vote ! Felons in certain state can vote ! think there are 5 states felons can vote the rest cannot, Americans living in the territories cannot vote Puerto Rico,US Virgin Islands,Northern Marianas Islands,American Samoa

and you are going to say "Constitution says only states get to have electoral college votes and these are territories" well that is incorrect ! The District of Columbia, with a population of 712,816 - that’s 4.5 times SMALLER than Puerto Rico - and also not a state, gets 3 electoral college votes, via the 23rd Amendment. ??? is this Fair !!

Okay, I'll bite. Amd how do you plan to enfranchise all those voters (assuming they're not so discouraged as to not vote like me)?

First off, if you don't vote, you got no right to complain!!

Not voting can be seen as neglecting your civil duty to show respect for the government and each other to uphold our society.

The whole point of voting is that everybody participates. This kind of political system has long been fought for, many men and plenty of women and children have died resisting tyrants who never wanted a system like this.

Having a system that allows everyone to participate is a huge achievement, and some people squander it like nobody ever suffered for it.

As for a Plan ! it is not my place !! I am not a "Yank" it is up to the American people ALL to fix ! the starting point would be get rid of the save Act ! oh I see it has been defeted

Hehe, you sound like my 8th grade Civics teacher!

I wasn’t complaining. It was you who suggest the US could effect change by enfranchising those who are now disenfranchised.

How?

“Long been fought for”—we have a fundamental disagreement here. I don’t think wars are worth fighting because they never achieve long-term results. In fact, I might say that the US has reached its current deplorable state because of its participation in useless wars.

Hehe, you’re not a Yanq and I’m an ex-Yanq! 5555

I would vote, but only if there were a true statesman-woman running. Those are as rare as jackalopes.

Govts never did anything for me. I’d block a nuke, block an oil pipeline. That’s my role.

I find that statement totally wrong "I don’t think wars are worth fighting because they never achieve long-term results. " so you don't believe in American democratic the men woman who died to give you your right to freedom and free speech

The human condition precludes us, as a species, from absolute peace. There exist always those would see their own gain at the great expense of another, and, unfortunately, many of those people must be destroyed in order for the rest of us to have what peace we can

Maybe you should have listened to your 8th grade teacher

and Yes America needs to change !! not only in attitude but its political system,you clearly have a insane person as president with nuke codes is that a good thing ?? what are you Americans doing about it ??

The House of Representatives and the Senate must vote to pass the legislation by a two-thirds majority. BUT cannot override a pocket vetoes is that clear now ! the last time this happened was in 2021 so not a every day occurrence
