Kucinich claims US-Israel military integration slipped into defense bill with zero debate
The Duran
Unconstitutional Military Merger Nobody in Congress Will Debate w/ Dennis Kucinich
"This essentially is the form of a treaty. This would have to be a treaty that would be subject to Senate debate and approval. There's no treaty here. They just slipped it in as a provision in a large, you know, almost a thousand page bill and zero debate. Zero. Matter of fact, they cut off debate by not including an amendment that would have struck this provision from the bill in the rules committee of Congress and they did that silently, quietly."
Kucinich alleges that the military merger provision was deliberately hidden in a nearly thousand-page defense authorization bill and shielded from debate through parliamentary maneuvers in the House Rules Committee. He argues this violates constitutional requirements for treaty ratification by the Senate and represents a fundamentally anti-democratic process. The former congressman contends this circumvents proper oversight mechanisms for an arrangement that would normally require full Senate debate and approval as a formal treaty.
