UNITED STATES ,

INTRODUCTION AND INTEREST OF

AMICI CURIAE1

“Could a President order SEAL Team Six to

assassinate a political rival?” That question was posed

by a member of the panel at oral argument in the court

below. Amici curiae, who have served as military

combat generals and senior officials at the Pentagon

and have held other senior Executive Branch

positions, submit that the answer to the panel

member’s question is a resounding no. A President of

the United States enjoys broad authority to direct the

military with very few limitations. But one such

limitation is that the President’s orders may not

contravene the Constitution or the laws of the United

States. Accordingly, the President has no authority to

order the military to assassinate a political rival.

Furthermore, the military is required not to carry out

such an unlawful, non-military order, if given. Indeed,

any military officer who carried out or issued such an

order would be committing the gravest of crimes—

murder.
