Excluding the brain tumor, everything is coming up roses for the traitor John McCain.
He was able to punish America by siding with the Democrats on Obamacare, now he’s just gotten his dream Russian war bill pushed through, with Trump being humiliated into signing it.
He could have refused to sign it, as a symbolic gesture, but both the House and Senate had passed it with veto-proof majorities, so he couldn’t have stopped it from becoming law. I’m sure whether or not to refuse to sign it was a difficult decision to make, but I think that he ultimately decided that doing that as a meaningless symbolic gesture would have made him look like a pouting baby, and so instead signed it and released a statement condemning it immediately afterward.
He’s going to take it to the Supreme Court, it looks like.
Here’s the full statement, from whitehouse.gov:
Today, I have signed into law H.R. 3364, the “Countering America’s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act.” While I favor tough measures to punish and deter aggressive and destabilizing behavior by Iran, North Korea, and Russia, this legislation is significantly flawed.
In its haste to pass this legislation, the Congress included a number of clearly unconstitutional provisions. For instance, although I share the policy views of sections 253 and 257, those provisions purport to displace the President’s exclusive constitutional authority to recognize foreign governments, including their territorial bounds, in conflict with the Supreme Court’s recent decision in Zivotofsky v. Kerry.
Additionally, section 216 seeks to grant the Congress the ability to change the law outside the constitutionally required process. The bill prescribes a review period that precludes the President from taking certain actions. Certain provisions in section 216, however, conflict with the Supreme Court’s decision in INS v. Chadha, because they purport to allow the Congress to extend the review period through procedures that do not satisfy the requirements for changing the law under Article I, section 7 of the Constitution. I nevertheless expect to honor the bill’s extended waiting periods to ensure that the Congress will have a full opportunity to avail itself of the bill’s review procedures.
Further, certain provisions, such as sections 254 and 257, purport to direct my subordinates in the executive branch to undertake certain diplomatic initiatives, in contravention of the President’s exclusive constitutional authority to determine the time, scope, and objectives of international negotiations. And other provisions, such as sections 104, 107, 222, 224, 227, 228, and 234, would require me to deny certain individuals entry into the United States, without an exception for the President’s responsibility to receive ambassadors under Article II, section 3 of the Constitution. My Administration will give careful and respectful consideration to the preferences expressed by the Congress in these various provisions and will implement them in a manner consistent with the President’s constitutional authority to conduct foreign relations.
Finally, my Administration particularly expects the Congress to refrain from using this flawed bill to hinder our important work with European allies to resolve the conflict in Ukraine, and from using it to hinder our efforts to address any unintended consequences it may have for American businesses, our friends, or our allies.
Yeah, sorry – that’s obviously the entire point of the bill.
.@POTUS signing Russia sanctions bill was the right thing to do, but his statement shows Congress needs to keep a sharp eye on this Admin.

I have no idea if there is precedent for this bill, but I doubt there is. What it does is remove the President’s ability to withdraw sanctions placed on Russia (or North Korea) with the approval of Congress. These are obviously executive matters.
What you have here is the legislative branch seizing executive powers in order to attempt to cripple the President. This is exactly what happened with the judicial branch and the travel ban – they illegally usurped executive powers, in order to thwart Trump’s national security agenda. But there is no one stopping the legislative and judicial branches from engaging in this blatantly illegal activity, because the entire government is utterly corrupt and allied against Trump.
98/100 Senators supported stripping Trump of his Constitutionally-awarded duties to protect this country.
What we have is a completely insane situation here, where the whole government is at war with the elected leader of the government, and it really draws into focus just how absurd this entire system of “democracy” actually is. This “checks and balances” thing doesn’t even work.
Once again, my position is clear: the President needs to declare martial law until he can isolate and remove the subversive, conspiratorial elements of this government – which is most of it.
We the people elected Donald J. Trump to do a job for us. He is the representative of the will of the people. And all of these other scumbags who are attacking him are really attacking us.
They don’t want peace with Russia, they don’t want a safe country, they don’t want a functional economy – they want to flush this country straight down the toilet, and they will do whatever they have to do to get that done.
Well, I’m sick of it.
The entire basis of the Russian sanctions – at least the biggest part of it – was the theory that Russia “interfered with the election.” Well, now the entire “Putin did Wikileaks” narrative has been dropped. Just – POOF – it’s gone.
In its place, the proof of “Russian meddling” is now a 20 minute meeting Donald Trump Jr. had with a random Russian lawyer.
And now that narrative is collapsing, so they’re going to plug something else in the whole. This is a conviction in search of a case. It is insane. It is hurting this country.
Someone has to put an end to it.
