This does not outline how Congress can legislate limits on executive military action or interfere with orders from the CIC.


Yes it does.

That along with the War Powers Act of (I believe) 1973.

Congress has to pay for the wars. Therefore, they get a say and they can turn the action off if they choose, after 60 days of conflict and another 30 days to disengage.

I guess the POTUS could pay for it out of his own pocket after that, but not many of them would be able to keep it going for very long.

Bro this is my post that you initially replied to with attitude.

quote:

If the executive is the commander in chief, how can the legislative branch legislate powers that are reserved for the executive? If they aren’t declaring war, what can they actually do (other than defund the military)?...


Only to ultimately reinforce what I posted, Mr. Grumpfish.

Bro


Would you ridiculous women please just shut the frick up with this “bro” shite. You sound like some tattooed meth girl in a body cam video trying to talk her way out of an arrest. What’s next? “I’m an AG!”? SMH.

Whatever.

I obviously don't understand the question, then.

It seemed to me (and still does) that you were asking a basic question about separation of powers and checks and balances that is clearly outlined in the Constitution and WPA.

BTW, "defunding the military" is not the same thing as refusing to pay for a war. If you are equivocating those two things, that explains why you think I said the same thing you said.

I didn't.
