Dem seeks to halt Trump from 'invading' Greenland, Canada and Panama.

House Democrats have launched an effort to bar President Donald Trump from unilaterally moving to "invade or seize territory" from Greenland, Canada and Panama.

The measure, known as the No Invading Allies Act and spearheaded by Rep. Seth Magaziner, D-R.I., bars funding from going toward the armed forces to engage in operations seeking to take over Greenland, Canada and Panama.

Magaziner said Trump’s "reckless" rhetoric about obtaining territory from the three countries makes the president untrustworthy with the war powers granted to him.

"Americans do not support sending troops unnecessary wars, especially with allies of the United States who pose no threat to our country," Magaziner said in a Monday statement to Fox News Digital. "Unfortunately, President Trump has recklessly refused to rule out taking the territory of other nations by force.

Under the Constitution it is Congress, not the President, who has the power to declare war. It is time for Congress to reclaim that constitutional power and ensure that the President adheres to the will of the American people."
