In three tweets on February 25, Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) said President Biden, under the War Powers Act, must "report to Congress within 48 hours" or else remove U.S. troops from "imminent hostilities."
Sen. Lee's remarks follow NATO's decision to activate its Rapid Defense Force for the first time in NATO history.
Lee tweeted:
"President Biden’s unilateral deployment of our Armed Forces to the European theater, where we now know they are in imminent hostilities, triggers the War Powers Act, necessitating that the President report to Congress within 48 hours.
"Should Congress not receive such a report, and Congress not authorize this use of military force, our forces would need to be removed from imminent hostilities. NATO invoking Article V calling on defensive support is not self-enforcing.
"The Constitution requires that Congress must vote to authorize any use of our Armed Forces in conflict."

Biden needs to open up our oil production IMMEDIATELY to stop paying Russia for oil we don't need from them.
Then he needs to realize Putin is not going to give an inch, he will buckle down and that puts the entire world at the verge of a possible nuclear war! If thats not imminent hostility.......I don't know what is. This may already be WWIII, we just don't yet know it.
At the moment all of Europe is in grave danger because of a mad man's threat of nuclear war, and at minimum he can cut off their oil and gas, it is still only march, it's still cold in Europe.
