How critical, legally, is the DEGREE of survival being seriously at risk?
Given various actions by various Presidents over the decades . . . e.g. Lincoln, FDR et al . . . doing administrative actions not strictly Constitutional and getting away with it i.e. their actions stuck and they did not get in any legal trouble--what is the potential for THAT kind of action vis a vis military tribunals?
I'm doubtful POTUS would take THAT route but it is conceivable.
