They need to recall this clown I think they can actually get GOP to split with their party on this.
This guy will literally go down in history books as a Trump sycophant and nothing more. I don’t believe for one moment there is a single genuine bone in this guy’s entire body. His only purpose is to lick Trump’s boots and to be his biggest cheerleader. He has no personality aside from praising Trump as the next coming of Jesus Christ.
And that’s how you know it’s not
Johnson isn’t exactly a constitutional scholar, is he?
Willing to bet my life savings that if Biden bombed Iran without congressional approval, Johnson would be screaming at the top of his lungs how he violated the War Powers Act and demanding impeachment proceedings.
Just a hunch.
actually that means Trump violated the constitution completely because only Congress could allow any military intervention – period. Absolutely no temporary power for Trump.
The war powers act was congress providing the president with a temporary power to address imminent dangers to the US like being attacked because the world moves fast. If that act is illegal than we default to the pure constitutional power to declare war which is solely on Congress. Trump could not have even possibly ordered this attack on Iran.
**Article 1**:
Duties of The Congress include:
> To declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water;
> To raise and support Armies, but no Appropriation of Money to that Use shall be for a longer Term than two Years;
> To provide and maintain a Navy;
> To make Rules for the Government and Regulation of the land and naval Forces;
> To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions;
>To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the Militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States, reserving to the States respectively, the Appointment of the Officers, and the Authority of training the Militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress;
Article 2 just establishes the President as the chief commander of the forces appropriated by Congress. I’m sure Mike knows that, though
Christian Nationalist death cult guy says what?
Almost everything Speaker Johnson has advocated for is unconstitutional.
MAGA is a cancer.
His face is unconstitutional
You would have to be an idiot to believe this, the constitution explicitly grants congress that power.
Traitor Mike Johnson deserves a long prison sentence at the end of this little authoritarian adventure. Fucking ghoul
>House Speaker [Mike Johnson](https://www.cnbc.com/2025/06/08/speaker-johnson-hopes-musk-and-trump-can-reconcile-their-differences-after-public-fallout.html), R-La., argued Tuesday that the War Powers Act, a Nixon-era law limiting the president’s power to unilaterally [wage war](https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/white-house/presidents-ordering-military-action-congress-approval-become-routine-rcna214379), is unconstitutional, and vowed that a pending [resolution](https://massie.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=395731) to bar U.S. military action in [Iran](https://www.cnbc.com/2025/06/24/israel-iran-ceasefire-live-updates-trump.html) under that law will not pass the House.
>Johnson told reporters that President [Donald Trump](https://www.cnbc.com/donald-trump/)’s decision to order strikes on Iranian nuclear targets over the weekend was “clearly” within his powers under Article II of the U.S. Constitution.
This guy has shoe shine on his face every day from all of the Trump bootlicking. He is a weak, spineless little twerp.
:before reading article:
What are the chances his complaint is that the WPA delegates *too much* authority to the President, diluting Congress’s constitutional power on declaring war?
:after reading article:
Zero. It was zero chance and I was a fool for even considering the possibility…
If Biden had bombed Iran, you’d bet your ass Mike Johnson would be leading the charge saying it violated the War Powers Act.
People keep talking about limiting the tyrant’s power. Just what he wants… talk and no action… Trump has effectively ended democracy … hope the magats like their next bully.
I suspect he’ll be yelling that the constitution is unconstitutional soon…
Oh, so Now he cares about the Constitution? Funny how they only care about the Constitution when it comes to them, but throw it right in the trash when it come to everyone else.
JFC. What’s unconstitutional is the dictator simply deciding to bomb anyone he wants. 3rd grade civics. 🤦♂️
His position is sheer lunacy. Moses Mike clearly is lying about this, because he cannot possibly be as dumb as he sounds.
The only conclusion I can come up with is that he thinks that bringing down the republic is the right thing to do right now. His oath means nothing to him, he considers breaking the constitution and destroying democracy is far more important.
I love how all these things that dozens of presidents for generations have had no problem sticking to and leading our country to be the greatest on Earth under are suddenly completely insurmountable obstacles that prevent the president from functioning at all and need to be pushed aside for one man.
If Trump can’t do the job with the same constraints that JFK, Roosevelt, Reagan, and Obama had, then maybe just maybe he’s not the right guy for the job.
Fucking weasel! He is not a king. He is a orange POS
I don’t know about the Act’s inherent constitutionality (though I lean towards it being okay). But, the way it was just used was not legal.
It’s pathetic that this piece of shit is literally only speaker because the GOP wanted a republican president with not guardrails
Deport this fucker to the god he’s so fond of
And people wonder why Congress isn’t doing anything.
Because Johnson is only there to protect Trump and do his bidding.
I’ve got a headline for you:
Speaker of the House Blocking Executive Branch from Oversight Violates Oath of Office.
An election denying White supremacist has absolutely no right to say what is and isn’t constitutional.
„Unconstitutional“ is now GOP speak for „I just don’t like it“
If the war powers act which delegated some of congresses power to the president is unconstitutional, then the only government entity empowered to declare war is Congress. Article I, Section 8. So not sure why he thinks this is helping his boss.
I always find it amazing that this guy can be bothered to dig his way out of Trumps ass to give interviews.
Trump’s cum rag says what?
There are very few faces that I actually fucking hate. However,…
For me, he will go down as that politician that openly admitted that he has his son help keep his porn addiction in check
Oh but if it was a democrat in office it would be just the opposite you sack
Trump, I think, is an empty vessel. He is obsessed with visions of his own grandeur, money, and power. Full stop.
I’m an atheist, queer, veteran who attends Quaker meetings because that is a group of people who just live everything Jesus was about. No Bible reading or sermons. It’s a group spreading love and compassion to others.
Johnson is the fucking Anti-Christ. Every word out of his mouth, every action he takes conflicts with the teachings of Jesus. And that man is in control of what is happening. It’s a power grab by Christian Nationalists years in the making, with the soulless, expendable Donald Trump as their puppet.
He’s got such a brown nose. We should fire him
I don’t know what someone has on house speaker Johnson but it must be bad.
Imagine arguing that Congress has no authority to prevent the president from starting a war.
Modus Operandi of those seeking to overturn the rule of law and end democracy. Claim something is unconstitutional just because you feel like doing something illegal, after you have committed the unlawful, immoral or plain vile act.
I’m surprised his son’s porn notifications are not going off because Mike Johnson can’t stop putting his eager mouth on Donakd’s knob.
By the end of 4 years the Constitution will be thrown out as woke and also unconstitutional somehow.
Go f*** yourself you boot licking piece of garbage.
Lil Himmler is slobbering all over those boots again.
Trump’s Johnson is a loyal toad.
Such an ass-kissing little goblin
The legislative and judicial branches bending the knee to the executive branch. Fuck separation of powers I guess
He’s one of those insane Christian nationalist apocalypse accelerationists. His goal is literally to end the world as fast as possible so Jesus will rise up and give him a big ol’ high five. He needs to be put in a padded room.
How long till they argue the constitution is unconstitutional?
I hope these guys all get long prison sentences for treason when this shitshow is over
