Oh, I see what you mean. You are arguing from the War Powers Resolution point of view while I’m arguing from Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution.

I still think Trump has no leg to stand on. If I’m reading it correctly, the War Powers Resolution says the president must withdraw the military unless Congress gives him permission to continue.

So if Congress does nothing, the president must withdraw the military.

(Or he’s supposed to, anyway.)

“Oh, I see what you mean. You are arguing from the War Powers Resolution point of view while I’m arguing from Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution.”

Presidents with the given or de facto assent of Congress have been bypassing that since President Thomas Jefferson. You’d think one of the nations founders most of all would be correctly interpreting the intent of that part of the Constitution.
