Congress has approved legislation that would prevent any president from withdrawing the United States from NATO without approval from the Senate or an Act of Congress. The measure, spearheaded by Sens. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) and Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), was included in the annual National Defense Authorization Act, which passed out of the House on Thursday and is expected to be signed by President Biden.

And if Trump wants, he asks his stacked SCOTUS to declare it unconstitutional, and withdraws from NATO. Zzz

Yeah, this is a hurdle, but that's all. Every law ever made can be unmade.

This bill violates the president's first amendment right to free speech because forcing him to do it is tantamount to forcing him to say he's okay with doing it.
