The Constitution....

Article I, Section 8

Which part references how to deal with narco-terrorism in conjunction with a permissive congress?

Article I, Section 8, Clause 10-11:

quote:

---

To define and punish Piracies and Felonies committed on the high Seas, and Offences against the Law of Nations;

To declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water;

---

And Article III section 2

quote:

---

The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States;

---

In practice what did that mean?

After Thomas Jefferson became president of the U.S. in March 1801, he sent a U.S. Navy fleet to the Mediterranean to combat the Barbary pirates. The fleet bombarded numerous fortified cities in present-day Libya, Tunisia, and Algeria, ultimately extracting concessions of safe conduct from the Barbary states and ending the first war.

quote:

---

Although Congress never voted on a formal declaration of war, it authorized the President to instruct the commanders of armed American vessels to seize all vessels and goods of the Pasha of Tripoli "and also to cause to be done all such other acts of precaution or hostility as the state of war will justify."

Our founders were neither fools nor cowards.

Such as when the next Dem POTUS is using this kind of force against someone without any congressional oversight.

Like when Obama droned actual Americans and no one did anything? That kind of DIM exercising that kind of power?

But you have to admit that you weigh your bigger concerns against dozens of American deaths per boat.

Baloney! You are not saving a single American life. Drugs can’t be controlled by tormenting the supply chain alone; you have to punish users. And that means that the CEO of a Fortune 500 company has to watch his Princeton student child carted off to prison. That isn’t happening. Until it does, drugs will be freely available to the users. Sure, the drugs in that boat that was blown up would probably have killed a few American drug users. But those users will still die by taking other drugs.

Actively rooting for people who are willing to kill dozens of Americans per shipment...

You obviously left out Central or South. They are not "Americans".

You are not saving a single American life.

You speak extremely confidently for someone who cannot possibly justify that statement.

Drugs are getting sunk, those ones disappear.

Those boats are not cheap to replace.

We are hitting them in both the Caribbean and the Pacific.

This will drive the cost up which means less drug usage and availability overall.

You know that in spite of the rhetoric that denies obvious facts of supply and demand.

Drugs are not magic, they are a good.

Was the first "war on drugs" something you would consider a success?

Sally, you try to show a contradiction by making a partial quote. That is beneath you. Your question is answered in the post you bowdlerized.
