I certain situations the president might not have the luxury of time to discuss the situation with his staff before having to make a decision.

Only in the case of in-bound nuclear missiles would that be impracticable, all other situations would allow some sort of staff meeting even if by video.

IMHO, this is a pretty weak argument.

You mean like Somalia 1993 where Clinton wasn't able to make a decision without discussing it with his staff first?

You're right, it was only our troops lives on the line waiting for Clinton and his staff to reach a decision. Nothing so important that couldn't wait right?
