    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.
