He is in line with the belief that Congress should have passed a resolution that forbade President F D Roosevelt from responding to the Japanese aerial exercise over Pearl Harbor on Dec 7, 1941.
I won't argue the point, but over the past few days I've been thinking that the best analogy would be imagining the GOP leadership in 1943 complaining loudly about how FDR didn't consult them first before ordering the attack on Gen. Yamamoto's plane resulting in his death, and a WaPo headline the next day, "Airstrike in South Pacific kills Japan’s most revered military leader, Isoroku Yamamoto, Japanese state radio reports." (Hint: you can't imagine it.)
