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.

Are you sure about this? And if so, could you elaborate with constitutional article or applicable proscribing provision? Nothing up my sleeve here; my question is honest.
