Grateful that Tim Kaine and Marco Rubio (of all people) passed bill preventing President from leaving NATO unilaterly [View all]

I was googling "Does the President have the authority to leave NATO" (for obvious reasons) and came across an article about a bill Congress approved that would prevent the President of the United States from leaving NATO unilaterally.

"Under the measure, advocated by Sens. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) and Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), the president would be prohibited from withdrawing from NATO without the approval of two-thirds of the Senate or separate legislation passed by Congress."

Of course, Trump has never been one to pay attention to the rules, but at least this bill gives a legal hurdle he'd have to overcome. And if Marco Rubio, of all people, joined together with Tim Kaine to pass this bill, that tells me the majority of the GOP wouldn't vote to withdraw from NATO.
