The House of Representatives delivered yet another disappointing performance on Tuesday, failing to pass meaningful War Powers legislation that would actually restore Congress's constitutional authority over military conflicts. Sound familiar? That's because it's the same old song and dance we've seen from both chambers for decades.
While the specific details of this latest resolution remain murky—typical of how Congress operates in the shadows—the pattern is crystal clear. Whether it's the House or Senate, our so-called representatives consistently refuse to take back the war-making powers that belong to them under Article I of the Constitution.
This isn't just about partisan politics, Patriots. This is about a fundamental breakdown of our constitutional system that has allowed the Deep State and military-industrial complex to drag America into endless foreign entanglements without proper congressional approval.
The Establishment Protects Its Own
Why do these War Powers resolutions keep failing? Because too many members of Congress—both Republicans and Democrats—are more interested in protecting defense contractors and maintaining the status quo than actually governing according to the Constitution they swore to defend.
President Trump has consistently called for ending America's forever wars and bringing our troops home from pointless overseas conflicts. But the establishment in both parties continues to resist any meaningful constraints on the military bureaucracy that profits from perpetual warfare.
"The swamp runs deep in both the Pentagon and Congress, and they're not about to give up their power without a fight," one congressional source told reporters.
Meanwhile, everyday Americans are left wondering why their tax dollars continue funding military adventures that make defense contractors rich while our own border remains unsecured and our infrastructure crumbles.
Constitutional Crisis Continues
Every failed War Powers vote represents another nail in the coffin of constitutional governance. The Founders never intended for presidents to wage war indefinitely without congressional approval, yet that's exactly what's been happening for decades under both parties.
President Trump's America First agenda includes ending these costly foreign interventions, but he needs Congress to step up and reclaim its constitutional role. Unfortunately, too many representatives seem more interested in protecting their committee positions and donor relationships than doing their actual jobs.
How many more toothless War Powers resolutions will Congress pass before they actually mean it? The American people deserve representatives who will fight for constitutional governance, not political theater.
