Congress Gets Trump The Powers for National Security

From Russia to the Pentagon budget, Republicans in Congress are proposing new measures to reduce the power of the White House and in some cases completely ignore administration wishes for national security and foreign policy.
Aware of Trump's sympathetic comments to Russia, senators approved a new package of sanctions against Moscow that gives Congress the ability to review any administration attempts to annul sanctions on the Kremlin.

Several Congress committees adopted three defence laws this week, increasing the pantagon's expenses by about $30 billion after some republics complained that Trump's budget failed in the military's promised reconstruction. And in a surprise move, a lower room panel adopted an amendment to abolish the use of military force, giving the US legal authority for wars in Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan, follows the TCH.

Although this recent change will hardly be made, just as other provisions send clear signals to the White House. Analysts say Republicans in Congress are realizing that the House does not have the adult leadership they want, so Congress is taking a much more aggressive role in national security for the first time in years.

A small chorus in Congress has long complained that the Legislative had handed over many executive powers, and although the new measures by some are considered insufficient, at least most admit they are sending clear signals for the return of Congress to national security issues.
