this time around, so many years later, is there more support for the idea of withdrawing that aumf? thank you very much, joy. let me just say that was a 60-word resolution that gave any president the authority and a blank check to use force really in perpetuity. i asked the congressional research service to present to us a declassified report as to how many times it has been used and for what. it has been used over 37 times in 14 countries for many, many actions non-related to 9/11. so for the last seven or eight years, i have been trying to repeal this. each time that a defense authorization or appropriation bill comes up, i provide an amendment, which of course doesn t pass, but we re up to maybe 140 or 150 votes, and i m going to continue to do this until we get to 218 because minimally, we should come back to congress. we should repeal this resolution, have a debate and a vote on a new authorization for these war footings which we are
fast to the notion that he couldn t release them because he was under audit. the trump team narrative began to shift when adviser kellyanne conway said the real reason is no one cares. thank you both for being here. why doesn t congress just make donald trump release his tax returns why are you making these guys go through all of this making frank and his friends, congress could just subpoena his tax returns, right? you have every democrat in congress calling for it. the problem is that none of the republicans are with us on the. they do say in the town meetings
quite naturally, members of congress are really feeling their way through in many respects. so i have asked several times now with some of my colleagues, speaker ryan, to bring us back out of recess so that we can have a debate actually and a vote because this blank check that they re using, the 2001 authorization sets the stage for perpetual war, joy, and that is very dangerous. it s sort of ironic that we re now in this sort of terrifying posture with north korea, which was the first undeclared war and the last time the united states declared war was obviously world war ii. do you worry we will wind up at war again without the congress weighing in and actually making a declaration? absolutely. i worry. it s very dangerous, and in fact, we need to be in washington, d.c. right now debating not only an authorization for syria but an authorization if, in fact, the president decides to use force,
policy and we have to know all the bobby traps and loopholes he wants to put in the tax code literally to benefit his family, his corporation, and his friends. we know they re calling for abolition of the estate tax which i m sure ivanka and barren will be delight to hear about. frank, doesn t that only matter if there is somebody willing to do something about it? one of the things that s happened with donald trump running for president is we ve learned what are laws and what are just norms. since he doesn t follow a lot of the norms, a lot of people assumed. what if there was some emoluments clause violation? is there faith that people in congress would even do anything about it?
