    He used his powers to bypass the Congressional approval process and then has since been against shipping weapons most likely because of the blowback.

    While he could veto this resolution given the overwhelming support by Congress it would only cause a short term delay.

    Congress at that level of approval has the right to override a presidential veto and given that it was done with the express purpose of spiting the president’s orders I don’t think it would do much good.

    I will never understand why people are so keen on laying this entirely at the presidency.

      Because how else will they get their long-awaited second Trump presidency, if not by playing Bothsides™ games with Biden?

        You’ve inhaled your own facts too frequently if you think everyone critical of Biden and the democrats want a Trump presidency.

        It’s Biden’s to lose and he keeps making choices to ensure it happens. Stop expecting blind support because only Trump gets it.

          Okay, what about everyone here saying that voting for Biden is literally genocide and that they could never do it and anyone who does is a murderer?

          Do they want a Trump presidency, or do they have a super secret plan up their sleeve we normies are too indoctrinated to see?

        Scary how right this seems with every passing day, I don’t like to be reductive but most people here can’t be reasoned with

          Most people on here can be reasoned with. But once you start learning usernames, you notice who the loud ones are.

      So why not do that then? Why not veto it and show he doesn’t want more weapons sent to Israel? If you’re so afraid of the inevitable “people will just vote for it anyways,” why not just roll over and let Trump have his second term?
