What's unconstitutional about a military tribunal for non-citizens?

A military tribunal CAN exist for non-citizens....provided that a Congressional Declaration of War exists.

Such as the case at Nuremburg....etc.

Otherwise.....we just have a Presidential DECREE...sort of like a real Dictator.

But then...Congress has abdicated it's responsibilities...much like most citizens.
