I’m not saying what happened with Venezuela was right or that it was wrong. It’s important I state that up front.
Below is a list of U.S. presidents who have deployed airstrikes or military actions without specific Congressional approval.
This list highlights presidents and their most notable WTO actions. All of these actions were justified under the president’s constitutional authority as Commander in Chief or under previous authorizations such as the 2001 or 2002 AUMF (Authorization for Use of Military Force) None of these are predicated by congressional votes beforehand:
Harry S. Truman
• Korea (1950) – Deployed U.S. forces and authorized airstrikes in Korea without formal Congressional declaration of war.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
• Lebanon (1958) – Ordered U.S. air and naval forces into Lebanon to stabilize a political crisis.
John F. Kennedy
• Cuba (1961 & 1962) – Bay of Pigs (though indirectly supported), and later the Cuban Missile Crisis military posture.
Lyndon B. Johnson
• Vietnam (1964) – Gulf of Tonkin airstrikes occurred before the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution was passed.
Richard Nixon
• Cambodia & Laos (1969–1973) – Conducted secret and unauthorized bombing campaigns as part of Vietnam War.
Ronald Reagan
• Libya (1986) – Bombed Tripoli and Benghazi in retaliation for the Berlin discotheque bombing.
• Grenada (1983) – Invasion and airstrikes without prior congressional approval.
George H. W. Bush
• Panama (1989) – Invasion and airstrikes to oust Manuel Noriega.
• Iraq (1990 & 1991) – Airstrikes began before Congress passed a resolution approving Desert Storm.
Bill Clinton
• Bosnia (1995) – NATO airstrikes in Bosnia without Congressional approval.
• Iraq (1998) – Operation Desert Fox airstrikes against Saddam Hussein.
• Kosovo (1999) – 78-day NATO bombing campaign without Congressional approval.
George W. Bush
• Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia (2001 to 2009) – Authorized drone strikes relying on the 2001 AUMF but without specific country-by-country authorization.
Barack Obama
• Libya (2011) – Air campaign as part of NATO action to topple Gaddafi, without Congressional approval.
• Syria, Iraq, Somalia, Yemen (2014 to 2016) – Airstrikes against ISIS and other terror groups under 2001 AUMF, no new authorization sought.
Donald Trump
• Syria (2017 & 2018) – Airstrikes against Assad regime over chemical weapons, without Congressional approval.
• Iraq (2020) – Ordered airstrike that killed Iranian General Qassem Soleimani.
Joe Biden
• Syria (2021 & 2022) – Airstrikes on Iranian-backed militia groups.
• Somalia & Yemen (ongoing) – Continued air campaigns under prior AUMFs.
Summary:
Every U.S. president from Truman to Biden has authorized military airstrikes or operations without direct and new Congressional approval at some point during their presidency.

There are people who will misuse this site, but the benefits outweigh the consequences. As someone who works with the courts and attorneys, I think this could be a valuable resource, especially if a state is refusing to hold judges to the highest standards.
Elon Musk@elonmusk
This is great. At least those judges who release violent criminals who go on to hurt more people will be publicly shamed!

This is incredibly generous.
TSA agents across the country are relying on food pantries and community donations just to get by.
I remain the lone Dem to vote with my Republican colleagues to fully fund DHS and get people paid.
It should never come to this point.
Elon Musk@elonmusk
I would like to offer to pay the salaries of TSA personnel during this funding impasse that is negatively affecting the lives of so many Americans at airports throughout the country

@PattyMurray Actually, you’re supposed to view these bulls and laws in the narrowest sense.
That there is the possibility that someone MAY (has) committed voter fraud is exactly why you should be in favor.
It’s happened, it’s already happening. Pass the SAVE Act.

“Goy” is the Hebrew word for “nation”. “Goyim” is the plural form, “nations”. People without a clue may use it in what they think is a derogatory slur, but that’s simply due to ignorance.
@travelingclatt is one of the best teachers regarding Israeli peoples of all kinds and the Middle East. He really brings the dark out into the light.
English

Goyim is a derogatory term. It states that people who are not Jewish are worth less than cattle. They have no value; their life has no value because of their heritage.
Kafir literally means non Muslim in Arabic, in the same way you asked in English, ‘What are non-Christians called?’ The only difference is language, not meaning or intent.
That's th difference. Muslims don't think, and most importantly, their religious doctrine doesn't dictate that people of any faith are less than them. Even with your fellow muslim brothers and sisters, you cannot ascertain who is better amongst them because that's a matter between the person and Allah.
Low IQ attempts to align Muslim values with Jewish values.

Not only did my hubby and I NOT get any of the jabs, the city we lived in tried to fine us $300 each for “not quarantining”.
Sent the letters and citations over to our attorney (the same attorney who handled multiple cases against Boston Mayor Wu during the Obscenity). He promptly sparked the City’s behind.
Good times.

MEMBERS OF CONGRESS UPSET-
about POTUS “denying Article 1 authority of Congress to be the sole authority on declaring war.”
No I’m not kidding. We currently have a bipartisan movement in Congress upset that Trump dropped bombs on Iran with “no Congressional oversight.”
May I point out first that they are correct. Dropping bombs to effectuate a regime change is not “common defense.” It is a proactive political action and by the Constitution it MUST be authorized by Congress, FIRST.
Having said that, the absolute audacity of Congress getting “upset” that they have no “oversight” over war is stunning. You can’t spend DECADES abdicating authority, shirking responsibility, and avoiding accountability and then attempt to feign outrage over “having no authority.” How are we, who have been trying to teach Americans about the Constitution for YEARS supposed to take you seriously? These same people have attempted to publicly shame us for speaking truth and now they want to argue “constitution?”
Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s pretty cool to be vindicated, but the Truth remains, in this case singular and finite:
Shut the hell up and repeal the War Powers Act if you are so upset. Anything less is just BS theater.
English

@GovPritzker Obviously, you’re directing this as the Islamic regimes, right?
English

@marcorandazza Amen and amen. I was 13 years old in 1979. I have never forgotten it.
English

I remember this like it was yesterday. I was just a kid, but I knew that this was utterly humiliating.
Iranian people, don't fuck this up... your government is crushed, now go out there and start your fucking revolution, or suck the Islamist dick forever.

@thatkindahuman People outside of Iran who know the history of the Persian people are with you all as you battle against incredibly evil people.
People like me and with people like you. ❤️

To non-Iranian peeps:
Iran as a country, and Iranians as a nation do not fit in any box you’re familiar with. We’re a weird civilization so very unlike the countries around us and the rest of the world. And that’s what confuses you.
Do not ask an Iranian if we’re Muslim or if we eat pork. Do you just randomly ask a Dane if they’re Christian? Don’t be surprised when we drink (Shirza wine is ours). Human rights were first created by us. Jews found home with Persians thousands of years ago and surprise surprie! We don’t hate them.
We used to have our own ancient religon based on good thoughts and good deeds before Islam invaded our wondeful homeland. That’s why most of us hate Islam and its ways of intruding in our lives.
We never adopted the Islamic ways of life or the Arabic language. Our language and culture survived Chinggis Khan and Alexander. Through thick and thin, we stayed proud and brave Persians. This homeland has seen more than you can imagine.
So please, before you start analyzing or condemning what is going on in Iran right now, just listen to Iranians.
We are peaceful people. We don’t support war, be it in Iran, in Gaza, or in Israel.
But more than 40,000 of unarmed Iranians were massacred by this regime in only 2 days. They were unarmed. We are unarmed and that is why you see Iranians cheering after the attacks on the governmental establishments. We have no fucking choice.
My people are writing: “If I die under these bombs, let the world know that Khamenei killed me and nobody else.” “I’d rather die by an American bomb than by the IRGC’s bullet.”
Yeah, it’s a sad story. No war has ever been kind to people. But like I told you, we’re a weird land and a weirder nation. We’re a phoenix, we have risen from our ash in the past. And we’ll do it again.
Long live Iran ♥️
Long live the King 🦁

@Not_the_Bee Hi! My name is Karen. You can keep using “Karen” as far as I’m concerned.
Because I’m not a “Karen”.

This broke the knot in my throat open.
I still can’t edit the footage of my father’s funeral —
I can’t even watch it.
I still can’t watch the 40,000+ memorials inside Iran — each one defiance paid for in blood.
But this scene… a teacher whose son never came back from the streets, and his students holding a memorial in his honor — I couldn’t take it. It shook me.
A teacher who raised courage.
A son who chose dignity over fear.
Students who turned mourning into resistance.
This is how nations survive.
This is how Iran will be free — because of all of you.
