@Fritschner ...in the absence of a statutory authority. The administration has made it clear that they believe they have the authority. — PolitiTweet.org

Matt Fuller @MEPFuller

@Fritschner I’d be receptive to this argument (1) if there wasn’t a catchall AUMF just lying around, and (2) if leadership hadn’t sought to do this as a Joint Resolution. They ultimately went with the Concurrent Resolution because it didn’t require an MTR, not because this is how it’s done. — PolitiTweet.org

Matt Fuller @MEPFuller

@Fritschner I mean, I’m with you. But that’s simply not what the administration thinks. Also, don’t forget the word “harbored.” I think that was why Pence had that whole thing about 9/11 terrorists going through Iran. — PolitiTweet.org

Can’t be sure of what move they’re on and who’s white or black — do Democrats or Republicans get to move first? — but I’ll annotate it as: 8. ...Bb5! 9. h5? — PolitiTweet.org

Matt Fuller @MEPFuller

@Fritschner The administration claims they have a specific statutory authorization (2002 AUMF for any actions in Iraq, and 2001 for anything else they want). — PolitiTweet.org

Underrated, but at 0:56, the old guy makes what looks like a seemingly routine move with his bishop, and then he goes for a high-five. Standard chess stuff. — PolitiTweet.org

Asked if she’s holding the Articles of Impeachment indefinitely, Pelosi says: “No, I’m not holding them indefinitely. I’ll send them over when I’m ready.” — PolitiTweet.org

Matt Fuller @MEPFuller

Pelosi signals that the House will continue to hold back the Articles of Impeachment. “We need to see the arena in which we are sending our managers,” she says. — PolitiTweet.org

RT @connorobrienNH: This is quite a walkback. Smith said pretty much the opposite about the articles of impeachment just a few hours ago. — PolitiTweet.org

Probably not a great sign for the whole "imminent threat" case that Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) called the intelligence briefing on Iran "the worst" he's ever been a part of, "insulting," and says he'll now vote to constrain the president's war-making capabilities. — PolitiTweet.org

@nielslesniewski @burgessev So it gets “a” vote, just not “the” vote. — PolitiTweet.org

Matt Fuller @MEPFuller

@burgessev As I understand it, it’d still be privileged (as long as the motion to recommit is rejected). Senate procedure experts? @nielslesniewski — PolitiTweet.org

Matt Fuller @MEPFuller

Interestingly, the House resolution constraining Trump's war powers is a concurrent resolution, not a joint resolution, meaning it won't carry the force of law. It's more like a press release. Basically, it's an admission that this is not getting GOP support in the Senate. — PolitiTweet.org

A weird thing I’ve been doing at night is using a weather app to find the warmest and coldest places on earth — you know, a normal hobby — and one of the things you learn from that exercise is that North Slope, Alaska is brutal. — PolitiTweet.org
