Packed into the 2024 National Defense Authorization Act that’s been approved by both the House and Senate is an amendment designed to prevent any future president from withdrawing the US from NATO.
The legislation was a bipartisan effort led by Senators Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Tim Kaine (D-VA) and would prohibit the president from leaving NATO without Senate approval or an Act of Congress.
According to The Hill, Kaine said the legislation “reaffirms US support for this crucial alliance that is foundational for our national security. It also sends a strong message to authoritarians around the world that the free world remains united.”
Kaine, Rubio, and other hawks in Congress would not have to worry about President Biden trying to leave NATO, as he is a staunch supporter of the alliance and has repeatedly stated the US obligation to NATO is “sacred.”
The legislation was likely designed with former President Trump in mind, although he has not said he would exit NATO. Trump has been critical of the alliance and asked other members to spend more on their military to lower the burden on the US, but NATO expanded into Montenegro and North Macedonia during his presidency.

Besides the shills in Congress, I suspect the Military-Industrial-Complex (MIC), and so-called “defense contractors”, like Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, Boeing, and Bechtel–to name a few–are fueling this drive to preserve Congress’ “security”. Will regular US citizens benefit? Only if they have stock in Armageddon.

Congress has no right to do that. If the majority of American citizens wished to leave NATO, it is lawful to leave the useless organization. The same goes for the Bloated, bureaucratically insane UN.

Looks to me that the current Congress is bowing to the inevitability that Trump will be re-elected in 2024 (provided they don’t declare martial law and cancel the election). If he’s re-elected, it’s almost certain he will carry a number of populist senators and representatives on his coat tails who can overturn the law.
