No More Pay To Help and Aid



     Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell has stated that he has sensed a “tipping point” in aiding Egyptian military because of his viewing and findings of their behavior  and predicted that a vote would come into proceedings to block US military aid even though a proposal to do just that was roundly defeated already.  The senate republican leader also commented that he has appreciated their alliance with Egypt but enough is enough. He finds that the Egyptian military needs to go ahead the democratic process to move forward and believes that this issue will be voted again come September because in his opinion from his own personal opinions that it looks like the crackdown is not an indication that they are moving in the direction of having a new election. Kentucky's junior senator, Rand Paul, has made an amendment calling on the administration to halt United States military assistance because of the military's decision to remove Egypt's democratically elected president from power. The amendment was roundly defeated, 83 to 13, but since then many republicans that were against the idea have changed their opinion and many more are finding reasons to back up such actions. Coincidentally McConnell’s statement was issued after Senators John McCain of Arizona and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina came back from Egypt and stated that “the United States should not support the Egyptian military if it stayed on its current path in dealing with the political crisis.”
     Through the constitution it is said that just as much the senate can declare war allies can be discussed and at times form by them just as well if in the best interest of the country.  The prime motives to send the military to Egypt have been under criticism as such matters have changed the political standings they have. Though not only political measures can be considered even as some issues the constitution states it cans, the morality of differencing opinions and views must be within knowledge as well. The constitution itself was not written in such a short amount of time and passed within all who made up the country; there will be backlash as is with any change that destroys the way of things being done in their culture. In my opinion regarding the constitution in mine in article 1 section 8 in the powers that congress has, should be put into context within this situation of while not having an appropriation of money for a longer term than two years. I believe a budget and time frame should be established accordingly with certain neutral of appointed parties in Egypt that are for the democratic process be discussed.
