Sen. Steve Daines exposed his ignorance on the US Constitution, budgetary matters and Congressional oversight when he told Fox Business he will vote against an upcoming Senate bill to limit Trump's war powers claiming it violated the principles of the Founding Fathers.
The House just passed a war powers bill "by a vote of 214-208 lawmakers in the House passed a war powers resolution to curb the Trump administration’s military action in Iran, ahead of the lower chamber’s August recces."
Trump supporter Stuart Varney asked the Senator from Montana if the Senate should also "exercise some more control over the war?"
Sen. Daines claimed having dinner with JD Vance counted as Congressional oversight and he will vote against any such bill.
His response was inexcusable for a Senator who sits on the powerful Senate Finance Committee.
DAINES: Stewart, we always have the ability to exercise oversight.
Just look at yesterday. You had the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Dan Cain, in front of the Appropriations Committee, you've got Secretary Hegseth, you've got Secretary Rubio, who are in routine contact with members of the U.S. Senate, so we're always engaged.
