Politico: Trump vetoes bill to curtail his Iran war-making authority
President Donald Trump on Wednesday vetoed a congressional resolution to block military action against Iran amid a new spike in tensions in the Middle East.
Trump's rejection of legislative efforts to limit his war powers comes just weeks after Iranian vessels harassed U.S. ships in the Persian Gulf and the president threatened retaliation against Iranian ships.
The war powers resolution was passed in March, but wasn’t formally sent to the White House until just this week because Congress has been out of session due to the coronavirus. It was the first Iran-related measure to reach Trump's desk after months of false starts on legislation that would require Congress to sign off on military action against Iran.

Regime change in Venezuela is working out great!
Let's bomb Iran. It's for their own good and the citizens of Iran will thank us for it.
Nation transformation to communism (aka REGIME CHANGE) has really worked out well.
Venezuela Venezuela - A nation is vanishing - Has Venezuela lost almost 20 percent of its population?
Venezuela can sell to Russia, Cuba, China and many other countries despite any sanctions.
Oil production was going down under the illustrious leadership Hugo Chavez.
Regime Change under Chavez & Maduro
1. No Electricity
2. No Oil
3. No Food
4. No toilet paper (Venezuelans do not actually need toilet paper. See #3)
5. No Safety. 1 in 1,000 Venezuelans are murdered.
Regime change Iran
It would have been nice is little baby Obama had given the Green Revolution verbal support.
Preferred method of Regime Change would be for Iranians to throw out their overlord oligarchs themselves.
Many Americans respect Persian culture. Theocracy not so much.
FTFY
