It is clear that the Framers recognized there would be times when the President needs to use immediate military force unilaterally and without the extensive time it might take for Congress to consider the matter, then debate it and approve it. They chose to withhold from him only the power to declare war, not make war which was regarded as a vital emergency power allowed the president to counter or thwart foreign threats.
Hence it is perfectly consistent with the Constitution for President Trump to have taken action against the brutality of Bashar Al-Assad to prevent the spread and repeated use of chemical weapons. It is not only Syrian civilians the Commander-In-Chief is endeavoring to protect, but U.S. troops in the region and other American assets, all of whom stand in jeopardy.
Nope. Assad was no threat to this country under any scenario. NONE!!flagrant violation of the constitution.Very dangerous and totally reckless.
The founding fathers “there would be times when the President needs to use immediate military force unilaterally and without the extensive time it might take for Congress”
Dear friend that is only in the context of an attack ON THIS NATION or an imminent threat to this nation. Not fabricating a pretext to go fight on the wrong side in a civil way 8000 mikes away!! your proposition is absurd.
