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

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

4/ Maybe Trump will say that "Iran" is the emergency, but that's a loophole that would allow any President to claim any number of Middle East crises as an "emergency" and then Congress will never ever be able to object to an arms sale again. — PolitiTweet.org
