Have you even read the U.S. Constitution or the Declaration of Independence? We revolted from England because the King did whatever he wanted with his armies and navies. The Framers knew that the decision to go to war should not be made by a single individual, which is why they placed that power in the hands of Congress. Hamilton explained this in great detail by comparing the powers of the President with the King of England. “The British king” whose power “extends to the DECLARING of war and to the RAISING and REGULATING of fleets and armies, all which, by the Constitution under consideration, would appertain to the legislature.” Hamilton, The Federalist Papers, Ltr. 69, ¶8. You are congratulating Dementia Joe for acting like a king.
