House Speaker Threatens To Withdraw Military Authorization To Fight ISIS

Luke 17:28-30 “Likewise as it was also in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built” but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. Even so will it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed.

House Speaker John Boehner is threatening to have the House of Representatives stop the President from receiving military authorization to continue the air campaign against the Islamic terrorist group ISIS.

“The president’s request for an authorization of the use of military force calls for less authority than he has today. I just think, given the fight that we’re in, it’s irresponsible. This is why the president, frankly, should withdraw the authorization of use of military force and start over,” Boehner told reporters.

The announcement by Boehner comes after the Islamic terrorist group overran the Iraqi city of Ramadi, leading to major criticism of the administration’s plan to not use any ground troops to stop the terrorist advance.

Other members of Congress, however, are not ready to withdraw the authorization to continue the fight against the terrorists.

“I think we’re at risk of losing our institutional power to authorize and conduct war, so the stakes here constitutionally are much greater than the issue itself,” Rep. Tom Cole, R-Okla., told CBS.  “I’m not critical of the speaker and I would like a different kind of resolution, but I think the best way to get there is to simply start acting.”

The White House was critical in their response to the news Congress may not reauthorize their efforts against ISIS.

“At some point, it has to be the responsibility of the speaker of the House to do his job and for members of Congress to do their job. And we have not seen members of Congress, and we certainly have not seen the speaker of the House do his job when it comes to this specific matter,” Earnest said, according to Voice of America.
