Rabid Democrats toss truth aside to rescue Iran’s regime

The US Senate is set to vote Wednesday on a resolution that aims to handcuff President Trump, barring him from taking additional military action against the Iranian regime.
That measure should be soundly rejected: It’s a violation of the Constitution’s Article II, which makes the president commander-in-chief of the nation’s armed forces.
Every president since 1950 has launched military operations against foreign governments without seeking Congress’ permission or a declaration of war.
Yet Trump’s strategic air attack on the Islamic Republic, which began Saturday, is evoking a torrent of vitriol from Democrats.
They’re calling him “an authoritarian ruler” and claiming the strikes are a “gross violation of the Constitution,” because Trump didn’t first get Congress to declare war.
Nonsense.
