TRUMP MUST VETO THE SANCTIONS BILL---TYING THE HANDS OF THE OVAL OFFICE DEAL MAKER--DUMB MOVE

CONGRESS TRIES TO USURP TRUMP AUTHORITY TO CONDUCT FOREIGN POLICY

CONGRESS THIS WEEK WILL PRESENT TRUMP WITH A BILL OF SANCTIONS THAT MUST BE VETOED.

PRESIDENT TRUMP SHOULD NOT SIGN THIS BILL!

Inexplicably the clowns in the Republican led Congress have permitted a situation to develop which will present their own President with a difficult and perhaps embarrassing decision to make.  With the GOP in control of both houses---one wonders (but then again this is Washington DC swampland) how this situation was allowed to get this far?    The "Russian Sanctions Bill" will propose a ramp up of new sanctions against Russia, Iran and North Korea.  This Congress with its 18% approval rating, Maxine Waters type wing nuts and nut jobs on the left and right, and its failure to accomplish anything of consequence in the last six months, has no credibility with the public---least of all on issues of foreign affairs which should  be left to the executive branch--the President---where the Founders directed it.

Mr. Trump should forthwith veto this thoughtless legislation as incursion and usurpation of his authority to conduct foreign affairs.  That function is thankfully the sole responsibility of the executive branch.  The President can not and should not be handcuffed in decisions of existential import  by the silly, parochial and uninformed members of Congress--many of whom don't even bother to read the bills to which they sign their names.

Mr. Trump needs flexibility in his dealings with Iran, North Korea and with Russia.  Let's not tie the hands of a great deal maker---that's just what the people elected him to do.
