It was perfectly legit. A perfect use of power to halt an imminent threat.
U.S. Military Strike Rules
The rules governing the U.S. president's authority to conduct military strikes are primarily rooted in the U.S. Constitution and subsequent legislative actions, particularly the War Powers Resolution of 1973. Article II of the Constitution designates the president as the Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces, granting broad powers to deploy military forces when the president deems such action necessary to maintain the security and defense of the United States.
However, Article I of the Constitution grants Congress the power to declare war, creating a system of checks and balances.
The War Powers Resolution of 1973 was enacted to check the president's power to commit the United States to an armed conflict without the consent of Congress. It requires the president to notify Congress within 48 hours of any military action and limits unauthorized military actions to 60 days unless Congress authorizes further action or declares war.
Despite this, presidents have often bypassed or loosely interpreted the resolution, citing national emergencies or the need for rapid response to threats.
For instance, President Donald Trump ordered strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities without prior congressional approval, justifying the action under Article II, claiming an imminent threat to national security. While some constitutional experts argue that Trump had the authority under these circumstances, others contend that the strikes were unconstitutional due to the lack of congressional consultation.
Historically, presidents have frequently used their executive power to conduct military operations without explicit congressional approval, such as President Barack Obama's airstrikes in Libya and the mission to kill Osama Bin Laden, and President Bill Clinton's actions in the Balkans.
These precedents highlight the ongoing debate over the balance of power between the executive and legislative branches concerning military actions.
In summary, while the president has significant authority as Commander-in-Chief, the War Powers Resolution and constitutional provisions aim to ensure that major military decisions involve both the executive and legislative branches, reflecting a complex interplay of legal interpretations and historical precedents.
You won!
