My view is that the President (Trump, Obama, Bush, Reagan, LBJ) has NO authority to do anything except repel attacks.

I think attacking Syria is totally illegitimate.

When did Syria attack us?

[luv2ski]

Although everyone knows it was primarily us, it was publicly acknowledged to be a joint attack with Britain and France joining us. I don't necessarily want to see us trying to police the world but if no one stands up to the thug dictators, they will be emboldened to do more and worse. Look what happened in the Obama administration when he ran around bowing to everyone. NK became a world bully, Iran was strengthened, Venezuela got much worse, etc. If the UN had any guts, they would do something to curb this type of odious behavior but the UN is run by the despots themselves so I'm not holding my breath.

I also don't want to see executive power curtailed by a bunch of petty senators, regardless of who is in the White House.

You are very misinformed. The Constitution says otherwise.
