If saying it out loud makes you feel better that is fine....but Congressional approval is not required for retalitory military strikes... also Houthis learned what happens when you fuck around and find out.... to claim Biden is just a Middle East bombing kind of guy is snarky at best.... attack our ships in international waters......choke on a rocket. I would expect any president to take action as commander in chief
Im not the only one saying it,some people with the voting power to impeach says it,some from his own party.
Yeah sorry.... ....the President's powers as Commander in Chief permit him to respond to sudden attacks and give him some defensive war powers...Presidents have been ordering strikes on targets in response to attacks for decades legally... Impeachment has nothing to do with this. hate Biden all you want but dont act like responding to Hootie and the Blowfish attacking U.S. ships is outside of his power as Commander in Chief... Congress always has a hard on to be included but most of them do not even know the law.
we can agree to disagree but 50 years of Presidential precedent since the War Powers Act says ordering military strikes is within the power of the Commander in Chief. Congress doesnt like it they can pass a law which is not something they are really good at.
and I was agreeing with you w/the post you quoted but didn't feel I needed to spell out something as elementary as a formal declaration of war needing approval which this is not.
