Kaine to introduce Senate war powers resolution after Trump threatens Oman

"Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) said on Monday that he intends to introduce a resolution under the War Powers Act to prevent U.S. President Donald Trump from carrying out his threat to 'bomb the s**t out of Oman.'

[...]

Kaine said that Trump’s threat to attack Oman was evidence that the president is 'increasingly deranged in his one-man campaign to threaten and initiate wars all over the globe.'

'His threat to waste even more of our dwindling weapons on Oman—a country the United States has a strong diplomatic relationship and a free trade agreement with—makes real adversaries like China and Russia rub their hands with glee,' Kaine said. 'I hope to find some Republican colleagues to join with Democrats and check this blindly stumbling power-drunk president from inflicting more damage on the United States and the world.'

Kaine said that he would introduce the resolution as soon as Congress returns from the August recess. Senators are not scheduled to return to Washington until mid-September."
