Why should the President of the United States, the Secretary of Defense and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff be in office if they don’t uphold the Constitution and American law and act in America’s best interests?
The Congress of the United States and only the Congress of the United States is the sole legal authority that can grant approval and permission to a U.S. President to go to war, except in truly extraordinary circumstances. In other words, if an American President wants to use the United States military to go to war, he or she has to have the permission of Congress, unless there is some compelling reason to act quickly without Congressional approval and permission.
