Lol, no it isn't. Ever since Cold War times, the law has been that the president can not only launch missiles, but even deploy troops on the ground, without congressional approval. There's a limit on how long the troops can be deployed, iirc, but once you've started a ground invasion it's a bit late.
Obviously it's unconstitutional, but there's no legal precedent that would say so. If you think this is the first time this has happened, you really need to learn more about history. The US never formally declared war on Vietnam, for example.
Ah yes, I remember Obama getting impeached for bombing Syria.
And for that matter, Trump getting impeached for killing Soleimani, the leader of Iran, while he was in Iraq.

Can we impeach him out of a cannon?
Into the sun?
That would take too much energy, it would be simpler to send him into a geostationary orbit.

impeachment shmimshmeashment, i want a conviction and an escort out of the building
So? Nothing will ever come with it.
Donny will never get out of this one!!!
It worked so well the first two times. Why not try again?
Third times a charm?
not with the house in the hands of republicans.
Best hope there is enough democracy left in the US to swing it back to the Dems in 2026.
And even then, without a comfortable majority for the Dems in the senate it will just be another impeachment to add to the pile, no conviction.
They don't call him teflon don for no reason
Dont get your hopes up. The democrats have yet to show any ability to regain seats. they'll likely just swing harder towards Cheney and get rocked again.

Can anyone explain what happened to the articles of impeachment that were introduced a few months ago?
Not happening. Next quotum
Didn't they dangle an "impeachment" so many times the last time it literally stopped meaning anything? I see thru this game and I ain't buying it.
