This I actually disagree with. We can’t have the bulls*** occurring during s potential threat where people are arguing and we can’t get anything past for action .
You actually want Trump being able to unilaterally make decisions about when we do and dont go to war? That is probably the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard someone say.
Trump isn’t going to be in Office forever son. And I promise there will be times we need someone who can authorize action eventually vs have things held up in pointless debates in the house or senate
Yeah, we already have that. But the power to authorize war lies with congress. The president is still the commander and chief of the military and ultimately makes choices on when and where to place troops. We do not want wannabe dictators just unilaterally deciding they want to go to war. If you think they should have that power, I dont know how else to say this other than, you’re an idiot.
While I sympathize, I also have read enough history and law to know that the executive branch has many option and powers to leverage to make this happen.

The SAC, aka the third option is a prime example.
Further the executive has the ability to deploy forces for 90 days, but still must notify the speaker of the house within 48 hours of deployment.
These are just two examples.
But if Trump can’t even report within 48 hours, then they need to assert their power.
If only the goddamn Speaker weren’t complicit.
