It’s right there in the constitution
Military actions require ‘international permissions’ not a congressional vote or anything.

That video is terrifying. To hear military leadership say that they answer to international orders? I like this Sen. Sessions fellow regarding this.
Our military does NOT work for the U.N. We swear our oath to the Constitution of the United States of America. I’m genuinely frightened at this.

Any Questions on how Obama views the Constitution?

Anyone remember how the War Powers Act was s’pozeta take care of all such issues? This could turn out to be the worst consequence of the Late Southeast Asian Misunderstanding.
If only Nixon hadn’t ordered those Palace Guard uniforms. Caesar Augustus’ only official title was First Citizen. See what a majority in the Senate gets you?

I don’t understand what all the ruckus is about. I mean, really.
Making sure one nation has the permission of other nations has worked out just fine in the past. Just ask the Czechs, whom I’m sure all know how such a process is sure to bring, “Peace in our time.”
Move along.

The war powers act was and forever will be an unconstitutional fraud. One branch of gooberment cannot pretend to be superior to and give orders to another. So the Commander-In-Chief can order any old thing he or she wants. That said, Congress can defund the military in a heart beat, if they had the stones for it. That is the basis for the checks and balances between the branches. The CinC can fight battles all he wants, but to mobilize the entire country for war requires a declaration of Congress and the authorization from Congress to spend the money. It’s written in fairly plain English in the document that enables the federal gooberment to exist in the first place. All the crapola added after that as legislation is only empowering because everyone has agreed to pretend it is, or just not press the matter.

P.S. Agree with above sentiments, any serving officer having or voicing the opinion that their authority comes from anywhere but the constitution, up to and including obeying the CinC within the confines of the Constitution is unfit to serve. Least that was what I taught the young shavetails that I taught Military Leadership to.

Watched the thing all the way through and it’s typical handwringing. I find it difficult to believe that anyone would watch that and interpret the general or Mr. Paneta as saying the US Military would be under international command. He clearly said, multiple times, that the administration would defend the country. He clearly said the administration would look toward permissions and agreements when building coalitions, how does that subsume CinC authority or put US troops under foreign control/command? Haven’t we more than enough reasons to want to get this authoritarian administration out of office without making shit up?
