SURELY THERE IS A CONGRESSIONAL REVIEW PROCESS FOR THE EXPORT OF ARMS. SURELY A CHECK OR BALANCS EXISTS. REFUSING THE SALE OF F35S TO CHINA THROUGH SAUDI WILL HAVE BIPARTICIAN SUPPORT.
The AECA contains procedures for congressional joint resolutions of disapproval concerning notified FMS and DCS transactions. Section 36(b)(1) of the AECA prohibits the U.S. government from issuing an LOA if Congress “enacts a joint resolution prohibiting the proposed sale.”
GOOD GOOD WAIT
Congress has never successfully blocked a proposed arms sale via a joint resolution of disapproval.
WAIT
The President has the authority to waive the AECA statutory review periods
The liberalist faith in law is a huge blind spot. The system is corrupt. It’s been corrupt for a while now, but it’s unmissable obvious now, and it disturbs me how many people are still saying strange things like how the constitution will stop this, the judges will stop this, the police will stop this. Corruption is systemic, not individualistic. The corrupt system isn’t coming to save people from the corrupt system!
If you aren’t already, organize locally with others to perform real political action through our worker power. Even if your local area has to build from scratch - the sooner we as citizens develop political power, the more lives are saved.

Super solid post. References cited from the government itself. Depressing that it’s on this topic though. Damn.
