    Only with clearance from Congress though. I actually did not realize that Israel’s president did not serve as cic.

      Absolutely not true. Only for prolonged conflicts… which congress will almost definitely approve of by the time that happens because the military will already be too embedded.

      And even the limits on the War Powers Resolution have only been in place since 1973.

        I see, so essentially they would state that it was in defense of the United States because it is was onshore and is there’s nothing Congress could do about it.

        That’s actually really horrifying if someone like trump takes the presidency given his current threats…
