Shaping the future government of a future enemy is nothing more than a political preemptive strike to avoid future shooting wars.

Then pass an Amendment. As it was, the Founders were quite clear on such things. Anything less is pi$$ing on the Constitution and we get quite enough of that from the Democrats. No need for the GOP to follow suit.

Don't need to any more that you need to pass an Amendment to adopt space weapons technology in the 21st Century or create the Army Air Corps in the early 20th Centuries because the Constitution says nothing about the specifics or aircraft or missiles or satellites.

It all comes under providing for the "common defense".

Did the fact that the U.S. failed to mold Germany's future after World War One result in the combat deaths of hundreds of thousands of Americans in the 1940's?

You bet your naive ass it did.

That was an instance of FAILING to provide for the "common defense".
