That’s a very good point! On the other hand, I’d hate to see presidents go on 60-day adventures using the War Powers Act as a cover. Perhaps a select committee of trusted senators should somehow be involved here.

Sounds like a decent idea, until you realize that Trump can’t even trust everyone in the White House. (from what I’m led to believe)

I don’t think the operation should extend out beyond 24 hours without some upper level consultations with Congress.

If there were still some high level operations that needed to be kept secret, I may modify that a bit. Not by much...

60 days would unquestionably be too long. We agree there.

I’d say a week would be too long, unless someone could provide a good reasonable reason.
