US Admin Finds War Powers Act Only Applies to Losers
The administration's legal gymnastics to exempt Trump’s boat attacks any unilateral military action from the War Powers Act is a masterclass in selective interpretation. This isn't just about Trump; it's a bipartisan tradition of presidents circumventing congressional oversight. Remember when administrations claimed 'imminent threat' to justify interventions in Libya or Syria? Or how the War on
Terror became a universal waiver? One might wonder if the definition of 'war' depends entirely on who's in charge and how strategically inconvenient Congress is at the moment. So, the next time a president deploys forces without legislative approval, rest assured, it's not a violation – it’s a 'kinetic action without specified duration under Article II authority,' which sounds much more
constitutional, doesn't it?
