2/ Arms control law allows Congress to reject a sale to a foreign country. But Trump would claim the sale constitutes an "emergency" which means Congress can't take a vote of disapproval. It would go through automatically. — PolitiTweet.org

REALLY IMPORTANT THREAD: 1/ I am hearing that Trump may use an obscure loophole in the Arms Control Act and notice a major new sale of bombs to Saudi Arabia (the ones they drop in Yemen) in a way that will prevent Congress from objecting. Could happen this week. — PolitiTweet.org

3/ To state the obvious, there is no new emergency reason to sell bombs to Saudi Arabia to drop in Yemen. The Saudis been dropping the bombs on civilians, so if there is an emergency, it's a humanitarian emergency caused by the bombs we sell the Saudis. — PolitiTweet.org
