They are in a position where they can pass legislation that will obligate the President to do something different. But I won't hold my breath....

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Oh no, they can't tell their dear king what to do!
Not concerned enough to have a spine, though. Classic Republican.
Just you wait, next election they'll vote for a different Republican. If one is available and isn't too woke.
Unlikely . . . 😬
Shut the fuck up, republicans. You voted repeatedly for exactly this.
Like 70% of the military voted for this
Seriously if there were ever a sector of society that deserves every last bit of this clusterfuck it's the military. I don't condone it. Frankly, many enlisted military members have no other choice because our society is designed to fuck poor people into going to war, but then to turn around and vote Republican anyway? I mean...damn. You're just a dumb as we all think you are in that case. Enjoying dying to protect rich pedophiles and oil.
Well, they should be. Letting Trump making military decisions will cost lives.
It's like brexit, but even slower and more of a clusterfuck.
