Kinda. I believe he has 60 days to use armed forces, then a further 30 days to withdraw them.

I trust Trump’s judgment. But the next Democrat president will almost certainly be a radical. So in general, I am wary of an imperial presidency. And I think that’s in keeping with the wishes of the Founders.

So why did W. Ask Congress for authorization not once but twice for Afghanistan and Iraq?

Much as I opposed Iraq War he did at least seek authorization from Congress

I don’t think your right although I applaud the skepticism

The way I look at it, They shot at our guy’s head. If this doesn’t get fixed, you WILL be living in an imperial presidency - for as little as you get to live.

I also believe that the Founders would take one look at the Amendments that we have added to their Constitution and wash their hands of all responsibility.
