What has been done can be undone.

Which law is that?
If you're talking about the Key West Agreement, that's not law.

Moreover, the Air force in its entirety is not authorized by the Constitution.

That bars offensive aircraft such as the A-10. The Army does have numerous fixed wing aircraft for ECM and RF intelligence uses as well as specialize small transports. However, their total fixed wing airfleet is quite small compared to the other services...

Not the OV-1 Mohawk in Vietnam. That was Army fixed wing.
