Congress approves bill barring presidents from unilaterally exiting NATO

Congress this week approved a measure aimed at preventing any U.S. president from unilaterally withdrawing the United States from NATO without congressional approval. Passage came amid long-standing concerns that Donald Trump may try to exit the alliance if he returns to office.

The provision was included in the National Defense Authorization Act, an annual bill detailing defense policy, which was passed by the House on Thursday and is awaiting the signature of President Biden.
Under the measure, advocated by Sens. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) and Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), the president would be prohibited from withdrawing from NATO without the approval of two-thirds of the Senate or separate legislation passed by Congress.
Kaine and Rubio had tried to advance similar measures since 2021. Passage of the defense policy bill this week marked the first time the House had embraced the tactic.

The Republican-led House Armed Services Committee did not respond to questions about why the chamber accepted the provision. The office of Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) declined to comment.
The bipartisan attempt to add checks and balances highlights the lengths Congress is willing to go to protect the U.S.-NATO relationship amid ongoing Russian aggression and after years of criticism of the military alliance during Trump’s presidential tenure.
Biden has sought to reassert the leadership role of the United States in global diplomacy, helping galvanize NATO member countries in support of Ukraine after Russia’s invasion, and encouraging efforts to expand the alliance to include Finland and Sweden.

During his presidency, Trump frequently lambasted the alliance, accusing its members of being “delinquents” and questioning the wisdom of NATO’s collective defense clause.

7. If Trump tries to unilaterally withdraw from NATO, Congress would press its case to the Supreme Court.

In the past, the Court has leaned toward allowing the President to withdraw from treaties without congressional consent. I can't help but believe that the Roberts court would allow Trump to do this.

4. tRump's fossil fuel industry stooge behavior starts on day 1

We're now the laughing stock of the world for it. My heart breaks for those who've now lost their homes in California because of the continued burning of fossil fuel.

The headline number of $219 million is described down in the article a ways. Pac's and Super Pac's got the lion's share of it.
