Did you not have fucking Civics in high school? When war is declared, the president can order martial law. I don't even remember all the war powers, but there are financial ramifications, rationing, etc.
You ignorant fuck.
Tell me how Vietnam and Korea and Granada and Iraq and Afghanistan are different. You fucking tell me instead of covering up by calling names.
Then STFU.
You keep arguing with strawmen and red herrings.
The difference in the conflicts that you mentioned is we were asked to get involved by the other country.
Or to protect American lives abroad,college kids and stuff.
You are trying to apply all kinds of falsehoods to my original argument which dealt solely with the consequence of such things that could take place within this country.
I asked you for the definition of a terrorist?
I asked you about religious extremism?
I asked about political extremism?
and you went off on some self righteous march to dumbassville and haven't left from there yet.
By the way the Constitution does not belong to the rest of the world, and treaties are the Presidents job, since we have no extradition treaty with Yemen, I think His first job was to develop one.
Secondly, I think that the Constitution does not give the President unilateral power, if anything it limits his authority, and the scope of his command of military power, one of the things that He can't do is invade a country with missles without the approval of Congress, it's as much for his protection as it is for ours.
calling names. ya it seems that you have a problem with that.
read your own posts shitbird.
I have family in Afghanistan, Iraq and soon much closer to Yemen, The President just made that duty station quite a bit more dangerous.
Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.
