You still haven’t shown me any time that Congress authorized military officers to “use reasonable force” independently of the POTUS so as to make the POTUS “irrelevant” as Lind claimed.
I have shown you the Authorization for the Use of Force, which specifically gives that authority to “the President”. Brigade commanders do not have authority to invade another country independently of “the President”.
I’ve documented; you’ve called names.
Lind never claimed that the President is irrelevant to the military. That is what you say because you are either incapable of understanding what she did write or simply refuse to accept an outcome that does not conform with your emotional desires.
Brigade commanders do not have the authority to invade another country independent of a lot of people, not just the President. And mindlessly parroting the Authorization of Force like an addled six-year-old does not constitute documenting an intelligent argument.
You have a fixation in your head that is an erroneous interpretation of the law. It leads you to not only ask nonsensical questions about Congress authorizing individual military officers to invade countries, a wrong-headed and pointless hypothetical grasping at the wrong issue, but to expect others to take them seriously.
Outside of your own head, you've documented nothing meaningful. You will acknowledge nothing but the insistence that you are correct. You flatter yourself that this constitutes anything but a study in the pathologies of the mind.
