I would consider your scenario an attack upon the United States. I would say that attacking the United States comprises not just vandalism of property but as well harm to citizens -both, which the President is tasked with protecting specifically.

Simple enough for you?

And you would simply be wrong Beers.

"According to Senator Javits, this attempt to deny the President the authority to rescue endangered Americans abroad was both intentional and clearly unconstitutional. The Senate version of the bill recognized this power, but the House of Representatives was unwilling to concede it and the Senate caved in the end. Whatever the reason, Congress has passed a law attempting to deny the President any authority to rescue American civilians from terrorist attacks outside the territorial limits of the United States." Robert F. Turner

Javits was referencing Section 2c.

So what do you think should happen to CIC who doesn't make war on our enemies in this hypothetical which btw is not just hypothetical.

Were you in favor of the Seal Team killing the pirates off the coast of Somalia or was that an unconstitutional act as well?
